If there is no rain fall within 2 days after application, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. It doesn’t contain anything specific to combat weeds, so if killing weeds alongside refreshing the lawn is a priority, this may not be the best lawn feed for that purpose. However, healthier lawns in general do stay more resistant to both weeds and moss. For grass that needs a consistent helping hand, the MOOWY All Season Lawn Feed can be applied once every 90 days, keeping the lawn topped up no matter the season. For example, the Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food will cover up to 400 m², whilst the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed will cover 200 m², and the EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food 100 m². It might seem like a lot of extra effort, to have to apply a treatment to your garden every few months to keep the grass looking nice.

A4: Overseeding or reseeding patches can be done 8 weeks after using Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1. After applying new seeds, Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4 in 1 must not be applied until the grass is 6 months old. 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.However, the best displays throughout the summer came from pots initially fed with a controlled-release fertiliser, then topped up with a liquid feed if they stopped producing healthy-looking growth. Our advice is to use a controlled-release feed, but give an additional liquid feed if your plants show signs of flagging. In fact, this fertiliser has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society which goes a long way to demonstrate both its quality and reputation. One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) in the lawn feed. The best lawn feed will have a NPK ratio that suits your garden’s needs – nitrogen encourages leafy growth, phosphorus helps establish roots and potassium helps with overall grass health.

That said, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to have a supply of both. That way, you can apply lawn feed + weed killer twice a year, but keep the grass topped up with lawn feed the rest of the time. Choosing Liquid or Granular Formulas 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. Watering the grass is still recommended before application, to further encourage even distribution. To use the sprayer, attach either a universal feeder or an advanced sprayer to your hose, and twist your bottle of plant food into the sprayer. Choose your spray pattern, and turn the dial on the top of your sprayer to spray the water. 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.

A1: After applying this product in accordance with the label instructions keep children and pets away from treated areas until the granules have been watered in thoroughly and the area has dried. The formula contains no phosphorus, and has an NK ratio of 14-5 meaning it’s high in nitrogen, with a reasonable amount of potassium too. As well as seaweed, this lawn feed contains iron which encourages grass to ‘green up’ and grow stronger. This, combined with the additional nutrients, vitamins and amino acids, helps maintain a healthy lawn with visible improvements in 5 days. Some products are also referred to as slow-release fertilisers. Technically speaking there is a difference between slow-release and controlled-release fertilisers. Slow-release fertilisers will gradually release their nutrients over time, regardless of conditions.
