    OK, this is a bit retrospective as I did it yesterday, but... Would it be detrimental to the lawn to mix spring with autumn feeds? I had a bit of each left over, not enough on their own to feed all the lawn but mixed together gave about the right amount. The spring said to apply april-sept and the autumn sept-nov; theoretically I applied both at the right time;)
    They were both granular feed incidentally, will be trying out liquid next spring

    Hi Loofah,

    If it is the same as with plant feeds then the spring will have more nitrogen in to promote growth and the autumn wouldn`t. It`s only lawn feed so it shouldn`t be too much of a problem. If you are worried I think if you water in in very very well it will dilute the quantities, but it is early autumn and doubt it will be a serious error.

    I like these retrospective posts-just like me.LOL
