Vitax 5FW500 Green Up Lawn Care Feed & Weed Concentrate 500ML

Product Information

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. Our lawns get waterlogged in winter and dry and parched in summer. We often get yellowing grass, moss and weeds that spoil the look of the lawn, too.

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. Let’s face it. The main reason you’re using a weed and feed fertilizer is that you don’t have time to deal with weed infestation while also feeding the grass. I get it. It’s a lot of work. So when a product like Scotts Liquid Turf Builder comes in a nifty easy-to-use bottle with a hose, you know you’re in for a treat. All you have to do is point the nozzle and spray the liquid. It doesn’t get any easier than that. For smaller gardens, this Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed works well to ‘green up’ the lawn whilst eliminating smaller weeds. 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.Wait 2-4 days after the mowing: The soil needs time to incorporate the grass cutting. Even if you collect it mechanically, you will always leave something behind. After a little break, the soil will be capable to absorb it again. As you probably already guessed, pre-emergent types affect only have an effect on the weed’s seed, and won’t be useful if your green corner already has grown weeds. Meanwhile, post-emergent weed n feed types affect already developed weed. And sure, with the proper use, you can combine both types. However, be sure to make a pause between the two applications. Make sure that kids and pets stay away: When applying the weed and feed you must always make sure that both the kids and pets stay away from the lawn during the application process and after that. Other than that, you should monitor them for a couple of days while they are on the lawn. And it’s also important to note that kids should wash their hands every time after spending time on the lawn.

The active weed killer ingredients include Dicamba and Mecoprop which are pretty common in agriculture and shouldn’t be too much of a concern, especially if you follow the instructions properly.

Safety Considerations

Application is as usual super easy. Personally I’d use the lawn spreader on larger areas. Bit of a cheat but still, isn’t lawn weed and feed just that? 😀 You can easily expect effective results if you use any of these products on the list. They are slightly different from each other, but they will surely do an effective job in controlling weeds and improving your lawn health. 4. How do liquid weed and feed work?
