Miracle-Gro 17684 All Purpose Continuous Release Plant Food 1 kg, Green, Brown

Product Information

For smaller gardens, this Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed works well to ‘green up’ the lawn whilst eliminating smaller weeds. The Proctors Autumn & Winter Lawn Feed is intended for use post-summer, to protect and nourish lawns, particularly as winter looms, whilst simultaneously helping kill and control moss. It’s a product that helps combat problems before they arise, or get worse, over winter. Controlled-release fertilisers work when the soil temperature and moisture are high enough, feeding plants when they need it through the warmer months and giving out less food in the colder months when growth slows. However, many products are still called slow-release as this is the more commonly understood term.

In fact, this fertiliser has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society which goes a long way to demonstrate both its quality and reputation. Before buying any lawn feed, you may wish to measure your lawn so that you can find out how many m² it is. This way, you can work out how much product to buy, and how many applications it will last for. Because the outer edges of each broad strip receive slightly less granules than the core centre, you should overlap the strips by approximately 30cm (1ft). This will ensure even greening to the whole area.

Well, that’s what lawn feed can do. Of course, there are some products which are just lawn food, and some which will also deal with weeds and/or moss. It’s up to you to choose which is most appropriate for your situation. But whatever you go with, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Value for Money 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.

Choose from all purpose, organic, tomato, Bloom Booster, rose, and orchid water soluble plant food, depending on your type of plants. The NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio is 6-9-6, and the high phosphorus content is what helps this product better promote the health of germinating seeds compared to other lawn feeds. Nitrogen is responsible for leaf growth, and potassium encourages plants to grow and function correctly. 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! Q1: When can children and pets return to a lawn treated with Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1? In previous years, we’ve trialled a Best Buy liquid feed against a Best Buy controlled-release fertiliser. We found that the liquid-fed plants grew bigger, but had fewer flowers – most of the growth was in the leaves.It’s a product that helps preserve the natural appearance of the lawn, for those gardeners who like having daisies and clover poking through as well. Miracle-Gro EverGreen improves the health of the grass but doesn’t contain any weed killing properties. If you’re looking for a fertiliser with an environmental conscience, the Plantworks Ltd Empathy Lawn Feed is a great example of organic lawn feed. This company is refreshingly focused on both caring for the planet and tending your lawn in equal measure. A3: For best results and even greening we advise using one of our lawn spreaders, application can be done by hand but this does require measuring out each square metre and ensuring 35g is applied evenly over the area.
