go for a feed that includes.

I will say that delivery is not cheap.

The only reason I use liquid feed and moss control is that this way its not weather dependent and is easy for awkward shaped lawns. On straight-forward lawns it just as easy or even easier and can be cheaper to use granular treatment.

 

i hear what your saying but isnt this stuff better than the usual stuff you find in the local diy shops?

 

A good nitrogen feed will also green up the lawn.

As you have a knapsack sprayer you will probably need a different nozzle (£2-£3) from Amenity. Soluble iron should not be mixed with liquid feed - or so they tell me so I have never mixed. It also stains clothing and stonework. Give it a try - I,m always experimenting to get the perfect lawn.

Iron is not a feed and you will still need to apply fertilizer. A spring high nitrogen now to get the grass growing and smmer fertiliser during the summer(these have a lower nitrogen content).

Use iron on its own when you want a quick green up or to control moss
