You also need to make sure the grass is completely dry before applying any lawn care products to avoid burning.

The following is applicable to Lawnsmith Soluble Lawn Fertiliser and may not be compatible with other soluble or liquid lawn feeds. Liquid Fertilisers are Absorbed through the Grass Leaves As you may know, there are two types of weed and feed. There is the liquid, and the other one is granular or dry. So, which one is better in terms of effectiveness? Liquid Weed and Feed 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! Thanks to its 20 percent nitrogen feeding, your lawns would have boosted fertilization. It uses high-quality ingredients to provide top-notch weeding and feeding results. Sprinklers should never be set to water at night since many animals such as raccoons can get caught while drinking from them due to their reflective appearance – this would cause an unnecessary death that we would not want any part of. Experts recommend applying liquid weed and feed during the day when the sun is shining bright.At Lawnsmith we feel the same way so all Lawnsmith® Fertiliser is free of harmful pesticides and unless you are using our WINTER GREEN High Iron Lawn Feed you’ll get no staining of hard surfaces as is the case with most feed and weed products. Liquid weed killers can then be used which are much more effective and safe once dry. 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:

Watering-in a fertiliser treatment is very different from watering to keep the grass green and healthy. Using a fertiliser that doesn’t need watering-in is a far better idea. Applied at the recommended a rate of 35 g /m², this 10 kg bag of lawn feed will cover approximately 285 m², suitable for most medium gardens.Weed and feed can burn your plants if it’s too strong for them, and if you use too much it can make your lawn unhealthy; It is best applied when temperatures reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit during periods when the grass is actively growing such as springtime through summer months while fall application should be avoided due to increased risk of burn. How long does it take weed and feed to start working? The best liquid weed and feed will not only prevent new growth from occurring but it’ll also help strengthen your existing turf by feeding them meaning they’ll have healthier roots so you won’t need to worry about pulling up any weeds or dealing with any pesky dandelions. When should you apply liquid weed and feed? Therefore, you may wish to consider what is more of a priority for your lawn. If you’re looking for it to be vibrant and weed-free for the summer, applying a combination of lawn feed and weed killer in preparation will work wonders.

At best it will create excess thatch that will need scarifying and an overseed, to the worse end whereby it scorches the lawn and makes it look brown. To find out how to water the lawn correctly please visit Watering the Lawn. When to use Liquid Fertiliser 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.If there is little moisture in the soil then there is nothing to take the fertiliser to the roots and then the leaves. Dry soil usually means grass under stress so adding any granular feed, liquid feed, moss killer or weed killer can harm the grass. If your lawn fertilizer schedule is twice per year, apply the second application about the middle of October. This acts like a “second helping” of much-needed food going into winter. A third application can be added in mid to late spring and can be combined with your crabgrass preventer. A fourth application, if you feel the need, can be added mid-summer. Watch the weather when applying midsummer fertilizers. Fertilizing during hot, humid weather can harm your lawn. An exception would be using an organic fertilizer. They are much more lawn friendly during the dog days of summer. There are numerous liquid weed and feed fertilizers available in the market, each with certain features and types. Therefore, some factors that you must take into consideration before choosing are here; Type of Weed

The usual application rate is between 30-35g per m2. So you will always want to make sure you measure out a specific area on your lawn, then weigh the right amount out before putting it in your spreader. For the best results, MOOWY claims this fertiliser should be used regularly every six to eight weeks, along with mowing your lawn every week. That said, the high nitrogen content makes us a little cautious when using this product on young or recently sown lawns. 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 can use it all year round if desired, but be careful where you open the tub – some customers have mentioned that accidental spillages inside the house left rust-like stains. It’s also advised to keep children and pets away until at least 96 hours after application and watering. Children and pets should be kept off the area until the granules have been watered in; a process that can be sped up by actively watering the garden instead of waiting for rainfall. However, to save water and time, this lawn feed can be applied when rain is imminent, allowing nature to take care of the after-care treatment.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. If you apply too much lawn fertilizer, especially in sandy soils, a good share of it will leach through the soil and make its way into our precious groundwater, lakes, streams and wetlands. Lawn grasses only need a certain amount of food. More isn’t always better. When to Should I Spray Fertilizer? The professionals don’t use combined ‘weed and feed’ fertiliser products containing pesticides or weed killers. They use a quality grass fertiliser and a separate weed killer or pesticide. So here’e the structure of this article. If you want to just jump to the section that intrigues you most, go ahead. Granules, on the other hand, require special spreaders to apply onto the lawn. If you like simplicity, the liquid is the way to go. Granules provide the option of a more concentrated application, which can be quite handy. Which One Is Better: Liquid or Dry Weed and Feed?
