Vitax Feed & Weed Lawncare,1litre

Product Information

So, a couple of weeks after that, perhaps a total of 6 weeks after using one of our slow release fertilisers in spring the grass will be hungry enough for a top up. For this you need a liquid feed as it gets taken into the plant via the leaves creating a more rapid but gentle greening without too much growth increase. You can repeat this several times throughout the summer with each liquid feed being about 4 weeks apart until the granular feed in autumn. Liquid fertilisers are no substitute for spring or autumn granular feeds. With this product, you are guaranteed a consistent result due to its strong herbicidal substances and 28-0-3 fertilizer. For the best results, MOOWY claims this fertiliser should be used regularly every six to eight weeks, along with mowing your lawn every week. That said, the high nitrogen content makes us a little cautious when using this product on young or recently sown lawns. Naturally, you can’t apply lawn weed and feed during the winter. When the temperatures are below zero weedings and feeding isn’t recommended, because the soil is too hard and can’t absorb the nutrients. Summer is also a not good idea for weeding and feeding because the soil can be too dry for absorbing the nutrients. However, there are some exceptions, for instance with Scotts weed and feed schedule. Safety Considerations If you have large broad leafed weeds, and are using a post-emergent product, then it’s best not to mow too short before putting down weed and feed, better to have a larger leaf area for the product to work on.

Whether hoping to fix a sparse lawn or trying to revitalise dead grass, when lawns are in desperate need of attention, reliable and fast-acting products can make all the difference. Miracle-Gro is a well-renowned company for a reason, and their Water Soluble Lawn Food is easy to apply with a sprayer or watering can, often creating visibly greener lawns in just three days.The fertilizer in this mix is strong enough to provide nourishment to each and every grass blade, capable of reaching even the weakest ones. Your lawn is bound to get greener within a very short time. So, you’re promised a weed-free healthy lawn.

February is pretty quiet but March would be my first cut and scarify session. Don’t be scared of scarifying. If you have a super cool scarifier/aerator like the one linked in the guide here again for convenience, it’s no more effort than mowing the lawn… April/May There are other liquid products that require a more elaborate way of mixing the concentrated material with water before you can apply. We didn’t review these products since they’re a lot of hassle and can be messy to mix and apply. How many Weed and Feed applications do I need?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

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?How long weeds take to die after applying weed and feed will depend upon the type of product you use. Most post-emergent herbicides will start to take effect from between 5 and 7 days. The full effect could take as long as 3 weeks to completely kill off the weeds. In fact, this fertiliser has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society which goes a long way to demonstrate both its quality and reputation. 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.

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.In summary, if 'Weed and Feed' worked reliably and consistently, professionals would use it and we would sell it! If your lawn is too small (less than a quarter acre) for a spreader, you might opt for a liquid weed and feed such as Scotts Liquid Turf Builder. It’s easy to use and only requires you to connect the container to a garden hose. Turn on the water and aim the nozzle at the lawn. When you’re done, release the handle and turn off the water. This is usually the easiest way to apply this type of liquid fertilizer.
