Product Information

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. This ready-to-spray formula covers up to 7,500 square feet easily. A wide range of broadleaf weeds falls under its area of expertise as it can kill and control most of them. Neither children nor pets need to be kept off the grass after using this fertiliser, meaning there’s no inconvenience of having to choose a suitable time when they’re not around, and it can be applied easily using fertiliser trollies or hand shakers. Unlike some other fertilisers, there is also no odour emitted by these granules, creating a more pleasant garden atmosphere.

So, once this surge is over the grass basically has eaten its fill and the grass growth slows. The dark green starts fading a little. This is perhaps the perfect state you want you lawn to be in; fit, growing well, nicely green without being too lush. Over feeding will make the lawn more susceptible to disease. The effect of products may vary from one another. Some might contain toxic ingredients or other hazardous substances. They can negatively affect the surrounding area of the place where weed and feed were applied. Try to avoid the toxic ones for obvious reasons. Application Method To get this liquid weed and feed to do its job well, give it a few days at least since you’ve just your grass, and then once applied, give it a couple of days before you cut again. That’ll give the maximum chance of absorption. In addition, do not water the fertiliser in or water after application. All you are doing is washing fertiliser off the leaves into the soil. If you do that you may as well apply a dry granular feed. One of the fundamental tasks required to improve your lawn’s health, is providing it with the right level of protection against the onslaught of lawn weeds.If you’ve recently planted new grass, look for a lawn feed that’s high in phosphorus and nitrogen . Alternatively, for established grass, high-nitrogen lawn feed can promote a growth spurt if the lawn is struggling. 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 But it’s not just crabgrass and dandelions. Preen shows satisfying results eliminating more than 250 types of broadleaf weeds on the lawn. This includes white clover, a notoriously difficult weed to manage once it takes root on your lawn. Make sure you don’t apply this if your lawn is too dry, it won’t break down and in properly. Ideally the lawn is a bit moist and soft helping to take the nutrient rather than a downpour resulting in it running straight off! Not ideal obviously. Apart from that, make sure to keep your kids and pets out the way following the instructions which by the way are minimal and you are good to go!

If you desire a healthy, lush lawn all year round, timing matters! It’s just as important to understand when your lawn needs it, as it is to understand what it needs.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. This lawn feed is particularly effective when used in the autumn through until spring for ridding your lawn of worm casts too, as the slimy remnants can make mowing the grass rather muddy and slippery. 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. It is in fact one of the most used lawn care products today, given the sheer convenience it provides when trying to get rid of a weed strewn lawn.

These months are easy. It’s a simple case of cutting the lawn, adding lawn feed, and watering to keep things healthy. September/October

The container has an innovatively designed battery-powered spreader system with a convenient carrying handle that allows you to start spreading right away. Its selective nature ensures that it only affects the weeds it targets. Which means the other grasses and vegetations would be unaffected and remain alive.

Certain versatile lawn feeds can be used for different functions depending on when they’re applied: for example, when applied between September and November the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Premium Plus Lawn Food restores the lawn after the harsh summer and prepares it for the stresses of winter. Similarly, applying it in March helps negate the damaging effects of a cold winter. Nice alternative if evergreen isn’t available: Westland Aftercut 500sqm All in One Lawn Feed Weed Moss Killer Phosphorus (or phosphate) helps with root development, as strong roots mean less disease and fewer pests. It’s best applied in early spring or autumn. In terms of moss, within two weeks of applying the product, the moss will have died and be ready to rake. As with all moss killers, this may result in some sparse patches directly after raking; however, grass will soon spread into bare areas.The second type of weed is crabgrass which is very common and harder to get rid of. Weed and feed brands such as BioAdvanced and GreenView do a good job of eliminating this stubborn weed. Usually, they add a second phase that targets narrow leaf weeds. You might need to use more than one application to fully remove crabgrass and other narrow-leaf weeds from your lawn. In terms of actual timing, you want to complete the cut and clear process a few days, maybe four, before you want to spread the lawn weed and feed. The best month to take this on is April or May. My pro tip is to half feed the lawn twice rather than go all in the first time. Now is the time to step into the plan above. Get the lawn cut, scarified, and aerated so you can add your lawn weed and feed. June/July/August
