Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food, 1 kg

Product Information

In autumn, your grass should be fed so it grows at a slow rate and so the roots can be strengthened against the cold. That’s when a specialised autumn feed is needed. You should also rake well during autumn to remove dead grass and weeds. Potassium helps to build plant cells, which means more resistance against diseases and drought, and is best applied in spring or autumn. In the heat of an English summer, the grass won’t be growing – in fact, it’s more likely to be scorched by any fertilisers. Stop feeding your lawn during prolonged dry spells, and once there’s been a good rainfall, wait a few days then feed again. Aim to feed the lawn every six to eight weeks throughout the summer.

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. 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.

What Is The UK’s Best Lawn Feed?

If you’re looking for a fertiliser with an environmental conscience, the Plantworks Ltd Empathy Lawn Feed is a great example of organic lawn feed. This company is refreshingly focused on both caring for the planet and tending your lawn in equal measure. 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. Nitrogen aids with leaf growth, resulting in a deep green colour when your lawn is happiest. Nitrogen-heavy lawn feeds are best applied when grass puts out new growth, so in the spring and summer.

Coming in the form of sachets, there’s no need to measure out the powder before use, making guesswork and approximations a thing of the past. It’s easy to apply neatly and, being water soluble, there are no messy granules left on the grass either. This is something that can sometimes be disappointing with other products when they leave traces on the lawn. Nitrogen, phosphorous pentoxide, soluble in neutral ammonium citrate, potassium oxide, iron sulphate Watering-in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work.In fact, this fertiliser has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society which goes a long way to demonstrate both its quality and reputation. For smaller gardens, this Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed works well to ‘green up’ the lawn whilst eliminating smaller weeds. Using a liquid autumn feed with a built-in sprayer is much faster and easier than diluting the feed in a watering can. You just attach your hose end to the nozzle, then twist the cog on the side of the nozzle. This will send water through the nozzle, which will dilute the lawn feed as it sprays onto your lawn. 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. 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.

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. People looking for a reliable autumn lawn feed with several sizes to choose from, including more affordable options for smaller projects. 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. This last point is referred to by Miracle-Gro as their ‘WaterSmart’ formula – it encourages the absorption of water and nutrients into the grass which can help protect it from drought and general stresses resulting from poor conditions.
