About this deal
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.
For larger lawns, consider hiring or buying apowered scarifier or scarifying mower attachment – or just rake a small section each autumn We appreciate the simplicity of using this Miracle-Gro fertiliser. You just need to add it to a spreader (trust us, it’ll give you more even results than spreading by hand), then water your lawn thoroughly the next day. The manufacturer also recommends mowing your lawn three days after treatment.Both granular and liquid/water soluble fertilisers work effectively to achieve a greener, healthier lawn, and they have similar price points, so the type of feed you choose depends on your situation and preferences. However, if you have a bigger issue with weeds and moss on your lawn, a good lawn feed/weed killer is your best solution for eliminating pesky weeds while also enhancing your grass health. Once your lawn is treated and in pristine condition, it's important to get some lawn feed down to ensure that the roots are still growing strong throughout the winter.
You can find out the feed coverage area, the product price, and the scope and frequency of application, from the product description. Again, we’re pleased with the formula of the Proctors Autumn And Winter Grass Feed – it contains exactly the right ingredients to protect a lawn over the autumn and winter months and reduce problems associated with cold weather/high rainfall. Since the goal of an autumn/winter fertiliser is to support healthy root growth, the feed has a low nitrogen content (only 3%) and is higher in phosphorous for root development and potassium for disease protection.Summer is the only season when fertilisers aren’t usually necessary. Your lawn should be getting plenty of sunlight, which encourages rapid enough growth without the extra fertiliser boost. The most important thing is to water your lawn during any dry spells to prevent it from drying out. Granular lawn fertilisers, or dry fertilisers, are applied to grass and watered in within 24 hours (if it hasn’t rained after the application). On clay or waterloggedsoil, it’s better touse a hollow-tined aerator, whichmakes wider holes that are even more effective at letting air and moisture into the lawn’s root zone and relieving compaction.The hollow tinesextract plugs of soil–simply sweep these up, then rake a top-dressing (see below) into the holes to improve the soil structure.This is best doneevery three to four years
