The Difference Lawn Feed Makes to Your Lawn It’s a given that lawns benefit from regular feeding.
Without the extra nutrients, your grass will soon use up its plant food
reserves in the soil, leading your grass to turn pale. There are many different
types of lawn feed and a regular supply will make your lawn look fantastic.
This month’s blog at AD Landscapes &
Maintenance looks at the benefits to lawn feed. For more information, call

What Lawn Feed Should You Use? Some lawn treatments only feed your garden. These are great
if your lawn is weed and moss free. However, others have added ingredients like
weed killers, which help maintain a clear green space. Some other feeds are
designed to use in the autumn. This toughens up your grass for the winter
season.
The main reason why some lawn feeds are better than others
is because they feed over several weeks rather than in one go.
Spring & Summer Feed During the spring, you should use a product that contains
weed killers and moss control. This assists with the grass growth and controls
any existing weeds. Once the moss and weeds are under control, you should use a
feed that keeps the grass looking healthy and green. Liquid lawn feed is also a
great option for the late spring and early summer.
If the weather gets hot, your grass will stop growing and
won’t use any feed. Lawns also get stressed during prolonged dry periods. This
means they become more susceptible to damage by fertilisers. Therefore, during
dry spells, you should stop feeding your lawn.
Autumn Feed Your lawn needs a different type of feed in autumn. You
should use on that keeps the grass growing slower. It also prepares your lawn
for the winter by building up the roots to withstand the harsh cold. Some
autumn feeds also have moss control.
Autumn feed is the most important as it prepares your lawn
for the cold, wet winter and strengthens it for the spring.
