Product Information

If you already own a fertiliser spreader, applying granular fertiliser to the lawn will be simple. Otherwise, liquid fertiliser may be an easier option – it can be applied with a watering can or garden sprayer . Unlike cheaper granular lawn feeds, this fertiliser comes in a homogeneous granular formulation – all the required nutrients are contained, and balanced, within each individual granule. As a result, no area ends up with a higher concentration of one particular nutrient, meaning it’s easier to treat the whole lawn evenly.

You an also buy liquid weed killers, such as Fluroxypyr, Clopyralid which won’t necessarily feed the lawn but will kill the weeds without harming the grass. Why it helps lawns Whether you're struggling to control moss, weeds or both, there's a lawn treatment that can help, but they don't all do an excellent job. Some will work wonders for your grass (but not make a dent in the weeds and moss), while others do a better job at controlling weeds. Lastly, you’ll have to “water in” the fertiliser. This will rinse the grass blades so that they won’t burn, and the roots will fully absorb the feed. Give it a good drink, enough that the fertiliser and soil become thoroughly moist, but not so the water begins to form puddles or wash away the nutrients.So today, we’ll teach you all about when to apply weed and feed and how to do it properly. What Is Weed and Feed and What Types Are There?

If your lawn needs it, you can keep fertilising throughout the summer. But granular fertiliser and dry soil don’t mix, so get your hose ready.

If you live in a southern state, Scott’s Southern Triple Action Formula is an excellent option, tailored to your lawns specific needs.
