Westland 500m Lawn Feed Weed Moss Killer

Product Information

Spray during suitable weather and ground conditions. Choose a dry day that is relatively still to avoid the chemical drifting onto non-target plants. It is also important that there is no rain forecast as this can wash the chemical off the leaves of the weeds and reduce the effectiveness of the weed killer. The type of product shouldn't make a difference to how well it handles weeds and moss. Typically, granular treatments are easier to spread over large areas than liquid ones, but a Best Buy liquid feed shouldn't have any advantages over a Best Buy granular one at controlling weeds and moss. Which treatment does your lawn need? If you’re looking for a fertiliser with an environmental conscience, the Plantworks Ltd Empathy Lawn Feed is a great example of organic lawn feed. This company is refreshingly focused on both caring for the planet and tending your lawn in equal measure. If the soil iscompacted,use a garden fork to spike the lawn or a mechanical aerator –see how it’s done in our lawn carevideo(aeration starts at3:53 mins) If you have very acid soil,you could apply lime, at not more than 50g per sqm (1½oz per sq yd), to slightly reduce acidity and discourage moss

Applied at the recommended a rate of 35 g /m², this 10 kg bag of lawn feed will cover approximately 285 m², suitable for most medium gardens.Unlike a lot of moss removers featured on this list, this is not a weed killer. It can help deter weeds, by generally encouraging the healthy growth of grass, but it does not contain chemicals to specifically fight them. This is the reason it is referred to as an organic product, as it is chemical free with organically-based ingredients. For many gardeners, this may add to its appeal, as it should not be as harmful to the environment as some chemical products. If you’ve tried non-chemical optionsbut found they were unsuitable or not practical for you, then there are two types of chemical mosskiller you could consider. Take care to usethese in a minimal and specificallytargeted way.

One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) in the lawn feed. The best lawn feed will have a NPK ratio that suits your garden’s needs – nitrogen encourages leafy growth, phosphorus helps establish roots and potassium helps with overall grass health. Moss is a common problem in gardens for a variety of reasons. It can give the lawn an uneven colour and feel spongy to walk on. On top of this, the granulated formula contains iron which kills off moss, stopping it from taking over whilst the weather forces you to spend more time inside. It can be applied every six weeks, with this 20 kg bag containing enough product to cover an area of 571 m². One bag will treat up to 625m² and can be applied at 32g per m². The key to reducing moss is to have effective all-year round management. Key Benefits In addition to its moss-killing properties, the Maxicrop also helps to improve lawn health and strong rooting. This means that not only will your lawn look better, but it will also be healthier and more resistant to damage. My experience

How much do I need?

Fresh moss has many uses too – flower arrangers like to use in displays, while birds add it to their nests. It can be used to line hanging baskets and looks great as a mulch in containers of spring bulbs. You can also add it to wildlife habitats and bug hotels. Non-chemical, bacteria-based products Selective weed killers or herbicides are used to control weeds on the lawn without harming the grass. Many of these products will contain more than one ingredient, this is so they cover a broader spectrum of weeds, as no single ingredient will kill all types and species of weeds found in the lawn. Common ingredients used in weed killers include 2,4-D, dicamba, mecoprop -p, clopyralid, and MCPA. This granular product needed to be applied every six to eight weeks but was easy to do so evenly by hand. The granules were a little irregular in shape and size, but they didn’t break up or become dusty. The product improved turf quality and colour significantly, keeping the lawn healthy and looking good. In terms of moss, within two weeks of applying the product, the moss will have died and be ready to rake. As with all moss killers, this may result in some sparse patches directly after raking; however, grass will soon spread into bare areas. These claim to achieve good control of moss, as well as feeding the lawn – products include VianoMO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser, Neudorff Organic CleanLawn, VitaxMoss Remover No Rake and Miracle-Gro Evergreen No Rake.

Therefore if you have a large area with mossy spots to treat, I suggest you plan and apply granular moss killer when weather conditions are favourable so you can get maximum results. If it rains after application, the chemical reaction will happen regardless of whether or not it’s sunny or cloudy.Grass can face some really harsh environments over the winter, with moss running riot thanks to the cool, damp conditions. Whilst a lot of moss killers contain ingredients that are best suited to use in spring/summer, it’s useful to have something on hand that can take care of lawn health during the colder months. It’s best to use a spreader to ensure even coverage of this Feed, Weed & Moss Killer, and doing so can also help achieve the stipulated coverage of 500 m². There’s enough product in the 17 kg bag to cover a medium to large garden, as long as it is spread accurately. Using lawn feed is an excellent way to ensure we get that lush green lawn that we all want. It’s a goal that can otherwise be hard to achieve in the British climate! Apply evenly over the marked area with the spreader, by hand or wheeled spreader. Find your spreader settings here. If you are using a feed and weed product there is no need to apply fertiliser before treatment as these products already contain fertiliser.
