Product Information

Top dressing is the next step after aerating. Itinvolves applying a mixof loam, sand and well-rotted organic mattertofill the aeration holes. It’s particularly useful on heavy soil, as it willimprove the soil’s texture and drainage, which should encourage better rooting and denser grass. Natural and organic products contain plant-based or mineral ingredients that are safe for the environment and human health. They work by nourishing the soil and plants to make them more resistant to weeds. On the other hand, chemical-based products contain synthetic herbicides that kill weeds but can also harm beneficial plants, insects, and wildlife. Wear long pants, long sleeves, closed-toed shoes, and gloves during application. Herbicides like 2,4-D, Dicamba, and MCPP may cause serious skin irritation upon exposure. Regularlawn care and physically removing unwanted plants is always the best first step. You can then decide how many you remove, potentially keeping some, and only target selected plants if they are getting too numerous.

For larger lawns, consider hiring or buying apowered scarifier or scarifying mower attachment – or just rake a small section each autumn 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.Wear protection clothes: You should have special clothes when applying weed and feed products. And the best way to do it is in a professional suit. However, if you don’t have it/can’t afford it, make sure to wear long sleeves and pants as well as gloves. It would also be useful if you can protect your nose and mouth with a mask. New lawnscan be severely damaged by weedkiller if applied within six months of sowing or laying the turf. However, it is claimedthatproducts containingfluroxypyr (such as Weedol Lawn Weedkiller) can be safely applied after two months, but the new grass must be growing well

Concern Weed Prevention Plus is also easy to apply, with a suggested application rate of 5 pounds per 300 square feet of lawn or garden area. It can be applied in the spring and fall for maximum effectiveness, and repeated applications can help keep weeds at bay over time. 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 . Give your grass plenty of time to recover from the first application, and never apply it more than twice a year. There should be at least two months between the first and second application to keep the chemicals from building up to dangerous levels in the soil and threatening to kill off all vegetation in your yard.To grow a lush lawn, the soil needs to have essential nutrients. Fertilizers temporarily add nutrients to the soil. Fertilizers typically list their nutrient ratios as an NPK formula. This denotation represents the percentage of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in the product. 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. Be extremely careful around the lawn’s perimeter to avoid spreading the granules into flower beds, vegetable gardens, or ornamental shrubbery. Weed and feed is a broadleaf herbicide that will kill all these plants, even though you don’t consider them weeds. In this case, drop spreaders are better since they don’t throw the product like a broadcast spreader. 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. The reason it helps lawns is because the high amount of nitrogen content feeds the grass to make it grow faster and look greener. The pesticide in the product kills weeds but not lawns. If it claims to kill moss, the It’s also highly likely that it contains iron (Fe) which is again is suppressive to moss but not lawns. What are the negatives to using weed and feed – is it poisonous?
