Westland 20400353 SafeLawn Child and Pet Friendly Natural Lawn Feed 150 m2, Green, 5.25 kg

Product Information

Also, it’s only meant to be applied twice a year, so I’d apply it in April and September when there’s plenty of moisture and conditions for growth are at their best. It’s easy to apply but needs watering in so if it doesn’t rain, you’ll want to get the sprinklers on.

To keep your lawn strong and healthy all year round, we recommend feeding your lawn with SafeLawn every 3-4 weeks from February to SeptemberIt’s designed to be applied once a month to top the grass up with nutrients. Miracle-Gro state that if your lawn is in poor health, apply it every two weeks. MOOWY gives an all-round nutrient boost for your grass, no matter what the season. It’s a slow-release fertiliser that keeps working for 60 days, strengthening plant roots and boosting the chlorophyll in your grass thanks to its high nitrogen content. MOOWY suggests mowing your lawn no shorter than 5cm before spreading the granules evenly and then lightly watering in, regardless of the time of year you’re using it. You should see greener grass within seven days, although bear in mind that there’s no weed or moss killer in this feed. This is an excellent product for giving your lawn a boost of nitrogen when it needs it. However, I wouldn’t use it as my main fertiliser because the Nitrogen content is too high.

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. 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. Seaweed has long been used as a soil improver, thanks to its natural content of nitrogen, potassium and phosphates. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this liquid seaweed stimulant from Plantworks contains organic seaweed extract that improves plant development by increasing chlorophyll production. The feed also contains extra iron from sustainably harvested kelp extract. 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. It’s a 100% natural fertiliser that breaks down into the soil to feed the roots. As the grass becomes stronger your lawn will start to out-compete weeds and moss, and the special friendly bacteria in SafeLawn converts any dead moss and thatch into nutrients, which helps to feed the grass.If you’re replacing or creating a new lawn, either by laying new turf or sowing grass seed, it’s best to spread the fertiliser directly into the soil. It’s easy to apply and has an anti-scorch formula to prevent it from scorching the grass and turning it brown. That said, you still need to be sensible about how and when you apply it. Don’t over-apply it or do so in drought conditions.

Scatter granules evenly over the whole lawn every 3-4 weeks while the grass is growing (February to September).However, because it’s a manure-based fertiliser, it can stink a bit. Some batches smell more than others. And although it’s safe for kids and pets, some pets are attracted to the smell and protein content so it’s best to water it in once you’ve applied it. This will eliminate much of the smell. In mid-spring (late March to April), when the soil is moist or when rain is expected, you can feed your lawn with a product that contains weed and moss control. It will kill off any moss that’s grown over winter, and help accelerate grass growth after the cold months. Once the weeds are under control, it’s fine to use a lawn feed that solely feeds the grass. Lawn feed isn’t exactly food; it’s more a combination of mineral nutrients that help your grass to grow. Just like other plants, grass needs a regular supply of nutrients to keep it growing healthily. The main nutrients needed are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), each of which provide your lawn with different benefits.
