When sparse grass isn’t the only problem, but moss and weeds are also running riot, versatile lawn feed is often the best solution to tackle it all. If the non-chemical methods above aren’t effective enough or suitable for your situation, you may choose to apply a lawn weedkiller. Of course, there are some products which are just lawn food, and some which will also deal with weeds and/or moss.

Check the forecast to avoid a downpour washing your weed killer away, or high winds that might blow the mixture back in your face.

One of the biggest drawbacks to using lawn feed or weed killer is the amount of hazardous chemicals they often contain. Weed killers that killed the entire plant, including the roots, were rated the best, as these are the only products that ensure long-lasting results.

However, you’ll want to make sure that it is effective and long-lasting, like the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed, otherwise you will need to re-apply it too frequently for it to be cost effective. Fortunately, products like the GREENFORCE 4-in-1 Lawn Feed, Weed, Moss Killer offer great value for money, with one 15 kg bag providing enough to cover an area of up to 750 m² (that’s 3 tennis courts!
