Product Information

That’s because systemic herbicides don’t leave any residue in the soil that might harm seeds grown a few days after. They’re instead absorbed into plants via the leaves and roots, killing the whole plant within 7 days. Common examples of systemic herbicides include glyphosate and pelargonic acid. Applying weed and feed is pretty straightforward, but there are a few essential details to remember, as it is a chemical product. You may be having an irresistible urge to spray weed and feed on your recently overseeded turf after spotting one or two weeds sprouting on the lawn. However, the growing seedlings will not be able to survive the strength of the herbicide. If you’re planning to use a weed and feed product with a post-emergent herbicide on your growing turf, wait until the grass roots anchor deeper into the soil and the lawn is established. This reasonably-priced rotary spreader offers quite a lot of features, especially compared to other lawn spreaders at the same price-point, and it also works reliably.

Scotts Turf Builder’s granular formulation makes it easy to spread using a manual or electric spreading machine.Phosphorus (or phosphate) helps with root development, as strong roots mean less disease and fewer pests. It’s best applied in early spring or autumn. Fortunately, Evergreen’s Scotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreaderstrikes a good compromise between practicality and affordability. There is an on/off trigger that comes in very useful when negotiating the corners of your lawn and if used properly will prevent you accidentally dumping too much feeder in one spot which could have adverse effects. As you can imagine, there’s a bit of a workout involved in pushing this fertiliser spreader around, especially when it’s full; the unit alone weighs 12.3 kg. However, it’s a great option for gardeners who don’t want to keep stopping and starting to top up the spreader. Don’t feed birds big chunks of anything, because they can choke on the pieces. This is true for whole peanuts, desiccated coconut, and dry pieces of bread. Chop up your bird food to make it easier for them to eat.

Finally, if you’re particularly keen to work rain or shine, look for a spreader with a lid or cover . Open-top spreaders can get clogged or jammed if the contents get wet.
