About this deal

Prior to any lawn weed and feed, or any fertiliser of any kind you need to put in the ground work. Cut the lawn first so you can expose the moss. Any lawn mower will do but you want a clean cut. I achieve this with a cordless lawn mower. My personal preference has always been the Makita cordless mower and it’s one of my best bits of kit in the shed. Grass collection is important, you want to be as clean and clear as possible to get the best results. Each part of the puzzle put together will give you the best shot at a perfect lawn.

Lawn feed isn’t exactly food; it’s more a combination of mineral nutrients that help your grass to grow. Just like other plants, grass needs a regular supply of nutrients to keep it growing healthily. The main nutrients needed are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), each of which provide your lawn with different benefits. Avoid watering for two days after appliance: You need to have a proper density of weeding and feeding granules. Keep in mind that water can alter the density. Hence you should water the lawn for two days after you applied the product. Of course, you should also avoid hot summer days for this kind of fertilization. This is something that sets it apart from other weed and feeds on this list. Usually, after crabgrass has reached a certain maturity, weed killers become less effective. But Green-Up can be used on crabgrass 4 weeks later than other pesticides. Applying it isn’t limited to spring the way it is with other brands. You can use it all season without having undesirable side effects on the soil or the turfgrass. It actually depends on the type of grass that is growing on your lawn. In general, you should start the first feeding in early Spring. Go for another feeding in mid to late May just before the summer comes. Until the end of October, keep feeding every six to eight weeks. Do not do anything during the winter and repeat the cycle in Spring. 2. Can I use weed and feed on trees and shrubs?

Since there are two types of weed and feed, how you apply the fertilizer depends on the type you choose. Granular types such as BioAdvance and GreenView would usually require you to use a spreader. This helps you spread the fertilizer evenly across the lawn and prevent damage to the turfgrass. Even if you have a small lawn, resist the temptation to use your hands to spread the material. Many good lawns were ruined when clumps of fertilizer landed on certain spots while other areas remained untouched. Let’s face it. The main reason you’re using a weed and feed fertilizer is that you don’t have time to deal with weed infestation while also feeding the grass. I get it. It’s a lot of work. So when a product like Scotts Liquid Turf Builder comes in a nifty easy-to-use bottle with a hose, you know you’re in for a treat. All you have to do is point the nozzle and spray the liquid. It doesn’t get any easier than that. As the name suggests, this isn’t just a lawn feed either; the granulated formula with an NPK of 10-4-4 helps green up the grass whilst also killing off weeds and moss. As a fast-release formula it can be applied every 4 – 6 weeks, so the lawn can be topped up as required. Another problem you have to watch out for is fungi. Necrotic ring fungus is a hard infection to treat. It creates yellow rings in the lawn that can stay for three years. You’ll often have to turn up the soil, uproot the infected grass, and reseed the lawn.

The pre-mixed formulation is very efficient in handling broadleaf weeds of any sort. You can bid farewell to the most tedious weeds using this specially created weed killer. Moreover, it prevents regrowth for a long time. Now is the time to step into the plan above. Get the lawn cut, scarified, and aerated so you can add your lawn weed and feed. June/July/August Although it depends on the type of lawn you have and what condition it’s in, an easy rule to adhere to is feeding once each season or even just once a year with a slow-release fertiliser. If you opt for the former, your feeding schedule might look like this:

When to Apply Liquid Lawn Fertiliser

Neither children nor pets need to be kept off the grass after using this fertiliser, meaning there’s no inconvenience of having to choose a suitable time when they’re not around, and it can be applied easily using fertiliser trollies or hand shakers. Unlike some other fertilisers, there is also no odour emitted by these granules, creating a more pleasant garden atmosphere. It uses SmartWater technology that’ll help your grass absorb and hold onto as much of the available water as possible. Naturally, in a drought or hot summer cycle, this will considerably improve your chances of holding a lush green grass. Nitrogen aids with leaf growth, resulting in a deep green colour when your lawn is happiest. Nitrogen-heavy lawn feeds are best applied when grass puts out new growth, so in the spring and summer.
