Product Information

More than 570 customers have awarded the Aftercut All In One Autumn Lawn Care an average 4.3-star rating out of 5, with customers agreeing that it’s a “great product” that produces “excellent results”. Customers also said that the formula spreads easily and delivers results within a couple of weeks. For example, the Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food will cover up to 400 m², whilst the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed will cover 200 m², and the EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food 100 m². You might be wondering whether there’s any reason to invest in an autumn lawn feed rather than a fertiliser that can be used year-round.

The 6% phosphorus and 8% potassium provide the ideal blend for strengthening grass roots, enhancing your lawn’s stress tolerance, and encouraging protein synthesis (crucial for building and repairing tissues) – all of which support a healthy lawn over the cooler seasons. The 4% iron should also deal with light moss and make it easy to remove with raking. There are a few specific rules that you’ll need to follow to get the application just right, including walking at a brisk pace of 1.5 metres per second, ensuring the spout is at least 45cm off the ground, and raising the spout whenever you stop walking to stop the flow of granules. You might find it easier to use your own more comprehensive spreader that works at a pre-determined height and spreads fertiliser evenly regardless of your walking speed. From a lawn feed spreader designed for bigger gardens, to one for those smaller lawns now with the Gardena hand-held spreader.Westland SafeLawn contains grass seed which helps to fill in any sparse areas and create a denser sward. The grass seed blend is made up of creeping red fescue and dwarf perennial ryegrass which is ideal for most home lawns. It’s a product that helps preserve the natural appearance of the lawn, for those gardeners who like having daisies and clover poking through as well. Miracle-Gro EverGreen improves the health of the grass but doesn’t contain any weed killing properties. More than 2,800 customers have awarded the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care Spreader an average star rating of 4.4. Customers said that the feed was “a good feed for your autumn lawn” and “easy to use and spread”. One reviewer said they’ve been using this last feed for years and noted that it helped stop the creep of moss and improved their lawn’s ability to withstand the winter.

For new lawns, you’d normally have to wait 6 months before applying a regular lawn feed as the high nitrogen content could damage the new grass. However, because the Nitrogen content is so low in this product, you can apply it without damaging the new grass and it’ll keep improving that all-important root development. This lawn feed is particularly effective when used in the autumn through until spring for ridding your lawn of worm casts too, as the slimy remnants can make mowing the grass rather muddy and slippery.Just in front of the wide, rubber gripped, handles there is a good-sized, and clearly marked spread rate adjustment lever. This too is made of strong steel, but with a plastic grip for comfort, and is highly unlikely to become damaged or worn any time soon. From a height perspective, I am 5 foot 9, I had no problem using this, my daughter considerably shorter, again no problem, it’s more about the angle change. Specification: Spreading width: 3.05-3.66 metres , Capacity: 23 kg , Recommended lawn area: up to around 100 m² , When to use: year-round use There are also directions given for using the best spread rate settings with various types of EverGreen granular products too.

Both fertilisers are slow-release, which means they’ll release nutrients into the soil slowly, giving your grass a steady supply of nutrients for up to 8 weeks. In terms of moss, within two weeks of applying the product, the moss will have died and be ready to rake. As with all moss killers, this may result in some sparse patches directly after raking; however, grass will soon spread into bare areas. In fact, this fertiliser has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society which goes a long way to demonstrate both its quality and reputation. Throughout our tests this model didn’t get jammed a single time, I think due to the hole where the feed goes through onto the spinning component as it is larger than what you sometimes see with these kinds of products. The aim of autumn lawn food is not to encourage top growth or make your grass look greener, which is why most autumn lawn feeds have lower levels of nitrogen (the nutrient that supports this kind of growth).

There’s no mixing or measuring. Just add a sachet to a Miracle-Gro Feeder and away you go! How to use Specification: Spreading width: N/A (very small) , Capacity: 3 liters , Recommended lawn area: least 100 m² , When to use: N/A 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. A granular fertiliser for lawns usually has an application rate of 35 grams per square metre (g/m²), while a liquid feed usually has specific instructions for dilution and application on the bottle. This is a simple but clever design feature, and the type of thing I like to see product makers trying out instead of just making carbon copies of other top-selling models.

Certain versatile lawn feeds can be used for different functions depending on when they’re applied: for example, when applied between September and November the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Premium Plus Lawn Food restores the lawn after the harsh summer and prepares it for the stresses of winter. Similarly, applying it in March helps negate the damaging effects of a cold winter. Looking for something a bit more heavy-duty? The Handy 50lb wheeled lawn and fertiliser spreader is among the most solid and sturdy models I’ve ever come across and would suit someone who has a medium to large-sized lawn, particularly if your lawn is on a slope or you have uneven terrain to negotiate. A 7kg bag provides 200m² of lawn coverage, and it should be applied once between April and September when the weeds are actively growing, with a maximum of two applications per year and a gap of at least three months between. In the heat of an English summer, the grass won’t be growing – in fact, it’s more likely to be scorched by any fertilisers. Stop feeding your lawn during prolonged dry spells, and once there’s been a good rainfall, wait a few days then feed again. Aim to feed the lawn every six to eight weeks throughout the summer. Weight is another factor to consider, especially if you’re thinking about a handheld spreader. You don’t want something that weighs a ton in your hands all day.These are small gripes though, and I shouldn’t complain too much about something that costs under fifteen quid, and overall it is a good little spreader and certainly worth a look.
