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. A1: No, the crystals are designed to be diluted in water in a watering can or in the Miracle-Gro Feeder, used dry may lead to over application and possible damage to the lawn.

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. 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. Although it depends on the type of lawn you have and what condition it’s in, an easy rule to adhere to is feeding once each season or even just once a year with a slow-release fertiliser. If you opt for the former, your feeding schedule might look like this: A granular fertiliser for lawns usually has an application rate of 35 grams per square metre (g/m²), while a liquid feed usually has specific instructions for dilution and application on the bottle. Use our easy-to-use spreader settings table to set Scotts® and EverGreen® spreaders correctly when using our products. Any other advice?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. 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. Watering-in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work.

The powder simply needs to be diluted in a watering can for application. Either this, or it can be used with the Miracle-Gro Feeder hose attachment which needs to be bought separately – the attachment connects to your hose and allows the powder to be mixed with water as it comes out. Both methods work to create an even application of the product. 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.People who prefer the instant effects of a liquid autumn lawn feed and want to save time and resources by buying a bottle with a built-in hose sprayer. If you’re looking for a lawn fertiliser that also does a great job at eliminating pesky weeds and moss, go with Guard-en-Force. A kilo of this stuff will cover (and get rid of) around 500 square metres of moss. The main role of phosphorous is to direct the grass’s focus on root development rather than top growth. It’s an ideal nutrient in an autumn lawn feed, since you don’t want to have to mow your lawn over autumn/winter. Your lawn’s priority should be developing a robust root system, which will enable it to withstand autumn and winter stresses and access water and nutrients stored in the soil.
