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

Product Information

Granular: If you have a large lawn, then granular weed and feeds are a better option. You load the spreader with the fertilizer and criss-cross the lawn until you’re done. There’s less risk of spillage or stains with granular fertilizers. GreenView is an excellent example of this type. It doesn’t require diluting or mixing with water which makes it less messy. This is the recommended type for lawns larger than a quarter acre but less than one acre. As we have seen so far, some weed and feed fertilizers work only on northern grass while others specialize in Southern turfgrass varieties. But what if you want to use a product that works on all types of turfgrass? Pennington UltraGreen is that kind of product that handles a wide variety of weeds as well as grass types. Liquid weed and feed are preferable for post-emergent weed killing and when your grass needs an immediate supply of nutrients.

Capable of killing over 250 weed varieties, including dandelion, clover, thistle, and creeping Charlie Some weed and feed products feature slow-release formulas, so users don’t have to fertilize as often. However, to achieve good results, plan on treating the lawn at least once every 8 weeks from the start of spring. Type of Turf Grass

What Is Weed and Feed and What Types Are There?

As well as encouraging new growth, this A1 Lawn Food also acts as a lawn tonic and will improve the overall quality of the grass. Feed and weed come in two forms: granules and liquid. The liquid is the easier choice as you can simply hook it up with any hose and start spreading.

As with most gardening or fertilizing tasks, it is best to apply weed and feed in the spring. This is when weeds are actively beginning to grow, which allows the weed and feed to kill the weeds as seedlings. However, some brands do not recommend the weed and feed to become wet after application, so apply the product at least 24 hours prior to any forecasts of rain. Q. Is weed and feed safe for dogs? It doesn’t contain anything specific to combat weeds, so if killing weeds alongside refreshing the lawn is a priority, this may not be the best lawn feed for that purpose. However, healthier lawns in general do stay more resistant to both weeds and moss. Weed and feed is effective for fortifying your grass and removing stubborn weeds like dandelions, crabgrass, clovers, and more. But long-term use could cause harmful effects on your grass. Use these products sparingly as needed, not as a long-term solution to weed problems. For that, look for a suitable weed killer. Q. How fast does weed and feed work? One thing to watch out for with the UltraGreen is its high concentration of nitrogen. With a 10.5 percent slow-release nitrogen in a 30-0-4 formula, it has the highest nitrogen ratio among the products on this list. So use it with caution on sensitive turfgrass and make sure the roots are well established in the soil before you apply the fertilizer. It could burn tender shoots of grass and sensitive roots. If you have a large garden the 20kg bag is a great buy and on par with EverGreen 400sqm Complete 4-in-1 Lawn Care for value. I still prefer the Evergreen though.This product improved turf quality and colour significantly, and gave very consistent improvement across the lawn. The grass greened up swiftly, showing good, healthy growth. Take care of the environment: Excessive use of weed and feed products can cause harm to the soil and water in your environment. Thus, make sure to calculate the right quantity of fertilizer for your yard. If you’re having trouble, better to turn for professional help. On the downside, you cannot use this product with other types of turfgrass. Also, when applied to Bermudagrass, you might notice the grass turning yellow. It will take up to a week for the grass to regain its lush green color. Pros

Just try using liquid weed and feed fertilizers as they are remarkably efficient in dealing with your weed problem and giving your lawn the right amount of nourishment to flourish into a green paradise! With this product, you are guaranteed a consistent result due to its strong herbicidal substances and 28-0-3 fertilizer. On the downside, you can only apply it in the spring with temperature in the mid-seventies. The formula doesn’t work in cold temperatures. Also, it’s not safe to apply it on newly mowed grass or tender grass that hasn’t established in the soil yet. After spraying, you should keep pets and children away from the lawn for at least one day until the pesticide has dissipated. Follow the precise proportions: As we mentioned before – be careful about how much weed and feed you use. Also, make sure not to apply too much of it can use. If you’re having some trouble, we would recommend an electric spreader for applying the fertilizer as an alternative – it’s more precise and will ensure that you don’t use too much of a product.

Weed and Feed Buying Guide

Concern’s Weed Prevention Plus is a natural weed preventer that provides a safe and effective solution to prevent weeds in your lawn or garden. It is made from corn gluten meal, a natural pre-emergent herbicide that inhibits weeds’ growth by preventing weed seeds’ germination. The product is safe for use in gardens with fruits and vegetables as well as around pets and people. Maintaining a healthy lawn includes mowing, weeding, watering, and fertilizing. However, fertilizing isn’t always necessary. Overfertilizing a lawn will make the grass grow more vigorously, requiring users to mow more frequently or leading to runoff, which ends up in the local watershed.

Liquid feeds need to be diluted with water. They should be applied to the lawn using a watering can with a fine rose or a liquid-fertiliser spreader. Make sure the lawn isn’t dried out and tired. Applying weed killer at this point could actually do more harm than good. Again, this will be your team of 1 star reviewers missing the correct plan. Ensure the lawn is not dry prior to spreading. Hopefully you’ll get a lovely steady bit of rain and you can time this, otherwise, you can use a garden sprinkler if you don’t have a hosepipe ban. I certainly hope not in May anyway!! Wear protection clothes: You should have special clothes when applying weed and feed products. And the best way to do it is in a professional suit. However, if you don’t have it/can’t afford it, make sure to wear long sleeves and pants as well as gloves. It would also be useful if you can protect your nose and mouth with a mask. For a more hands-on approach, you can use a spray bottle or pump-up sprayer filled with liquid weed and feed solution mixed according to label directions (more on that in just a minute). A general rule of thumb is for every square foot of lawn area, mix one quart of concentrated liquid weed and feed product per gallon of water. Apply at least once monthly during periods when plants are actively growing.This 2.5kg liquid product treats up to 50,000 square feet easily, making it ideal for bigger lawns.
