Calcium 5% and Trace elements– To maintain plant cell wall strength promoting turf hardening and disease resistance. Below, you’ll find more details of each element and which part of grass development it contributes to. This will help you choose the right fertiliser, with the best NPK ratio, for your garden. Nitrogen

A high nitrogen content is less important for winter fertiliser. However, grass still requires some nitrogen for promoting normal functions and it is not always present in the soil in high amounts – this is why most winter fertilisers still contain a reasonable amount of nitrogen. If you’re hoping to find a fertiliser that will be useful year-round, you will want a slightly higher ratio of nitrogen compared to if you’re using a separate fertiliser for winter and spring (recommended). One thing to note: if there’s no rain forecast, you’ll need to make sure to fully water in the fertiliser yourself. It takes a while, and a fair amount of water, for the granules to dissolve. Phosphorous is integral for general plant health; if plants aren’t healthy, they will grow slowly and take a long time to mature. Naturally, this will also make them weaker. Whether you’re looking to repair pesky thin or bare patches, improve your existing grass, or create a brand new lawn area, our seed blend is designed to produce a tough, durable lawn that is able to thrive under a number of conditions. This premium mix will deliver results that will last all year round while withstanding traffic, children, garden parties, sports and different weather types. Helping to protect grass health over the winter months, The Grass People Slow Release Autumn/Winter Fertiliser is designed to combat the damaging effects of disease and frost. The aim is to preserve the appearance of the lawn until spring (or whenever the weather actually starts to warm up; we all know how unpredictable our UK climate can be!).Coming in a 20 kg bag, you get plenty of fertiliser for quite a reasonable price – especially considering that it should be applied at a rate of 35 g/m². When applied carefully, one bag can cover an area of approximately 570 m² (for reference: a standard tennis court is 261 m²). Potassium is an extremely useful nutrient, especially beneficial to grass over winter, because it helps grow strong roots and stems. Looking for a relatively high potassium ratio in a winter fertiliser is a good idea.

If spilt on paving, concrete etc., brush off immediately to avoid discolouration. If no rain falls within 48 hours of treatment, irrigate treated area. Complete Lawn, Feed Weed and Moss Killer is effective against broad-leaved weeds of the following species:

My Top Recommended Winter Lawn Fertilisers
