Scotts Lawn Builder Lawn Food is a top-quality lawn feed for the avid gardener. It is easy to apply even without a lawn spreader, although using a suitable lawn spreader guarantees the best results and makes the job much easier. As long as you follow the instructions, this lawn feed gives desirable results for a long time because of the slow-release fertiliser which we particularly like. Preferred by many sporting venues in the UK, it doesn’t cause surge growth and requires no extra mowing unlike other granular lawn feeds that can cause the lawn to grow excessively fast which is not ideal. Watering Can: Mix one large (15ml) level spoonful of Miracle-Gro® Lawn Food into an average sized 4.5 litre (1 gallon) watering can and spread evening over 2.5m². This product performs its two actions well. Just remember it doesn’t kill weeds or control moss, for this, you will need a lawn feed, weed and moss killer, or if you have a moss problem, you can treat it with iron sulphate, which will green the lawn and kill the moss. Pros A4: When using this with the Miracle-Gro Feeder, one bag of 500g of feed will treat approximately 100 square metres, given good water pressure. High phosphate and potash levels encourage harder growth and better root development for luscious growth.

Well, it depends. Some of the granular lawn feed products in our review require you to water in the granules after you’ve put them down on the lawn.

For best results we recommend using the Miracle-Gro® Feeder This lawn feed also acts as a turf-hardener because it works to prevent lawn disease. From late autumn to early spring, it reduces worm casts on the lawn. Worm casts are small, slimy soil mounds caused by the overturning of soil by earthworms.

The best time to use this feed on your lawn is between March and September but the earlier the better, typically when weeds are actively growing. EverGreen also recommends applying the feed to your lawn under fair weather conditions, when the soil is moist, the grass is dry and when no frost is expected. Additionally, you should only use the feed once or twice a year, with three months interval between each treatment.
