However, too much phosphorous in soil can also be problematic. Phosphorous can build up in the soil, and excessive amounts reduce a plant’s ability to take other vital nutrients from the soil. This is one of the reasons why it’s important not to overdo it on the phosphorous front. Sold in a 2 kg box, this granular fertiliser covers an area of approximately 100 m². The instructions state that should generally be applied at a density of 20 g/m². For areas that need more attention, this can be increased up to 30 g/m². You may have seen the initials ‘NPK’ when looking at different fertilisers. These letters represent three elements. N stands for ‘nitrogen’, P for ‘phosphorous’ and K for ‘potassium’. These nutrients are vital for different stages of plant growth, and different fertilisers contain different ratios of them. It’s recommended that you fertilise your lawn at least twice a year: once in the spring, and again in the autumn/winter. Springtime fertilisers contain a different composition of nutrients to winter fertilisers, which is why it’s important to use different products. A winter lawn fertiliser will contain ingredients that have been specifically chosen to protect your lawn from harsh winter weather, helping to prepare it for growth in the springtime.

This will help you choose the right fertiliser, with the best NPK ratio, for your garden. Nitrogen

The fertiliser consists of relatively fine granules, so it can be a case of trial-and-error to make sure that they are applied at the recommended amount of 35 g/m². If you are using a spreader that is intended for larger granules, you will need to reduce the aperture accordingly. Nitrogen is pretty vital during all stages of a plant’s growth. It’s one of the main components of chlorophyll, which helps plants convert the sun’s energy into food. Chlorophyll is also responsible for giving plants their green colour, so nitrogen can help grass get greener and healthier. A high nitrogen content is less important for winter fertiliser. However, grass still requires some nitrogen for promoting normal functions and it is not always present in the soil in high amounts – this is why most winter fertilisers still contain a reasonable amount of nitrogen. If you’re hoping to find a fertiliser that will be useful year-round, you will want a slightly higher ratio of nitrogen compared to if you’re using a separate fertiliser for winter and spring (recommended).Made in co-operation with one of the UK’s leading fertiliser manufacturers, ensuring you are getting only the highest quality product.
