Independent: We will tell you exactly what we think of a product and we would never recommend anything we wouldn't use ourselves. Apply liquid formulas early in the morning, or in the evening. If it gets too hot then the formula will evaporate before it’s had time to be absorbed. You can apply Westland SafeLawn every three weeks between February and September, but it’s advised not to use during either a drought or when the ground is frosted over. This 5.25kg bag should provide 150m² of lawn coverage. Due to its diluted nature, it may not necessarily be as strong as granulated products can be, but it’s less likely to scorch the grass and is simpler to apply. Our lawn care and plant fertilisers promote growth in your garden. From lawn treatment and manure to plant food and fertiliser, we have everything you need to keep your lawn and flowers thriving year-round. Improve your soil quality with garden manure, ideal for feeding established plants and helping them flourish.

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.

Do not walk on the treated area - and keep children and pets away from the area - until the product is thoroughly watered in and the grass is completely dry, to stop it transferring onto other surfaces. Sweep up any spillages and dispose of carefully. Watering the grass is still recommended before application, to further encourage even distribution. Having a soluble formula also means that there is less likelihood of scorching – this happens when a high concentration of product is applied to one place and burns it and is more common with granules.

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. Use the easy-to-use spreader settings table to set Scotts® and EverGreen® spreaders correctly when using our products.Liquid feeds need to be diluted with water. They should be applied to the lawn using a watering can with a fine rose or a liquid-fertiliser spreader. The application of the product depends upon the moss killer you are using because the dosage amounts differ. Some can also be used in wet or dry conditions and applied via a pump sprayer, watering can, spreader or by hand (using gloves). Using lawn feed is an excellent way to ensure we get that lush green lawn that we all want. It’s a goal that can otherwise be hard to achieve in the British climate! 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. Poor growing conditions are the main contributor to moss growing on your lawn and some of the main areas of the lawn that suffer from moss include:

Some of the best lawn feeds are those which are designed with slow-release formulas, working in different phases to continue improving the health of the lawn for weeks after application. The Scotts Lawn Builder Lawn Food starts to revitalise the lawn in around seven days, then continues slowly releasing nutrients for eight weeks. The formula contains no phosphorus, and has an NK ratio of 14-5 meaning it’s high in nitrogen, with a reasonable amount of potassium too.weeks after application, rake out dead moss. You can then re-seed the area with grass seed. How to use Application by hand

They are available in a range of formulas that include organic ingredients to powerful iron sulphate. Application varies with liquid moss killers requiring a pump sprayer or watering can whereas others can be applied by hand. In autumn, your grass should be fed so it grows at a slow rate and so the roots can be strengthened against the cold. That’s when a specialised autumn feed is needed. You should also rake well during autumn to remove dead grass and weeds. The combined feed/weed formulas should only be applied twice a year; they will damage your garden if used more frequently. However, lawn feed alone can be applied more often: up to every two weeks during the growing season unless the weather is very hot and dry. Q1: When can children and pets return to a lawn treated with Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1?

Simply scatter around 35g of the granular feed per 1m² patch of lawn and water it thoroughly straight after application. If you’re keen to help the germination of the added grass seed present in the feed then keep the lawn well watered for the next fortnight. The organic matter won’t stain like other fertilisers if you happen to step across it, and won’t scorch your lawn either, even if it’s over-applied. When applied on newly germinated seed, this fertiliser can really boost growth, able to help with reseeding bare patches as well as improve the general overall health of the garden. Coming in the form of sachets, there’s no need to measure out the powder before use, making guesswork and approximations a thing of the past. It’s easy to apply neatly and, being water soluble, there are no messy granules left on the grass either. This is something that can sometimes be disappointing with other products when they leave traces on the lawn.
