Lawn fertiliser guide to help your grass flourish

SeaFeed Xtra is a premium, organic seaweed fertiliser that promotes strong, lush growth for plants and lawns and improves the biological activity in the soil. Seaweed also has iron in it, which gives extra greenness to your lawn. You can use this product on other crops, flowers, and indoor plants too. It comes in 1, 5, 10, and 20-litre containers that are made from recycled ocean plastic.

Customer Review: "I plant trees on behalf of the Woodland Trust and some of those recently planted were showing signs of distress due to the continuing lack of rainfall and very hot conditions. After reading reviews for this product I have begun using it whilst watering the trees. The results are quite amazing. Over the course of ten days, new leaf buds are appearing from areas that previously looked dead. Cannot recommend this product strongly enough."

This is a combination of seaweed and chicken manure. The seaweed acts as a supplement in improving soil quality, while the chicken manure acts as a stimulant for attracting bugs and worms. It comes in pellet form and can be used with any crop, not just lawn. One kilogram covers about 10 square metres.

Customer Review: "Very good quality."

This concentrated liquid feed is based on seaweed extract derived from sustainably harvested kelp, manufactured using a unique cell burst process. This process ensures maximum retention of the growth stimulants found in kelp, along with a wide range of nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids. The feed also contains additional nutrients in the form of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and iron to help maintain a healthy green lawn that is resistant to the emergence of weeds and moss. This product is endorsed by The Royal Horticultural Society.

Customer Review: "This is an excellent product that, once established, produces lovely rich green grass to make a lawn anyone would be proud of. I had previously used Empathy Supreme Green Lawn Seed when I created a fresh lawn at my previous property. Within just a few months I had a lawn that was the envy of the neighbours (and of course, I didn't let on that this was the 'secret' product I'd used). Anyway, the lawns around the house we've recently moved into had bare patches - so it was a no-brainer really when it came to choosing this product again to repair my lawn, with a view to bringing it back to life. And, just like before, I'm very pleased with the end results."

Customer Review: "I don't use a week killer in with my lawn feed - over years the week killer built up mats of dead moss beneath the surface that needed to be removed by hand. This product is excellent - greens up the grass in no time and keeps it healthy - and I am enjoying the daisies and clover that now grow in it now I no longer use week killer."

This is top-rated on Amazon for a reason. With over 13,000 reviews with an average of 4.4 stars, Miracle-Gro Evergreen Complete lawn food creates a thicker, greener and healthier lawn whilst killing weeds and moss. The one-stop solution promises results in as fast as seven days.

Customer Review: "This is a fantastic product. Last year having used another product, which killed large sections of my grass and not the weeds, this product was easy to use and did not kill my grass. The moss was dead within a week and the other weeds, which there were a lot of, including dandelion, daisy, clover and other unknown weeds mostly all gone after 3 weeks. I just used a roundup spray for the odd weed, which was left and now have a lovely weed-free healthy lawn."

Customer review: "Very pleased with this. So easy to use, just attach to the normal hose fitting, waters in automatically. See results in the next few days. My lawn is a darker green with lush growth. This format is so easy to use and great value."

Anyone who likes their garden products to multitask should consider Greenforce's highly-rated lawn feed. This is not just a lawn fertiliser but a three-in-one solution with the ability to kill weeds and moss as it feeds your lawn. It's advised you use this from April onwards and three days after last mowing. This should make your grass thicken and become a rich green colour, while weeds and moss will blacken and die. After a week or so, you can rake out the dead growth, reapplying the feed if required.

Customer review: "This product definitely works, however it takes a while. I spread the stuff on my weed-riddled lawn on 21 June (almost 4 weeks ago). Whilst some of the weeds turned black immediately, others seemed unaffected. The grass was patchy and a bit dry looking. As of today, the grass is lush and green and thick, and almost 60% of the weeds have died off. It says it will take up to five weeks for full effect so I'm looking forward to seeing the final results in about 10 days."
