    After the first weed n feed of the year didn't exactly give stellar results, I decided to try out chicken pellets over the lawn. First time for me and it seems to work brilliantly!

    Anyone want some weed n feed?!

      Very interesting, what application rate did you use for the pellets?

      Did it kill the weeds or just give them more food?

      [hand in-pellets out per area I'm in]

      Not very scientific I agree, just a liberal scattering and more on the paler areas. I did have to go and water them in quite well.

      @intel just a feed as a high nitrogen dose
