Westland SafeLawn Child and Pet Friendly Natural Lawn Feed: Safest lawn feed The term, ‘Poor Health’ is vague. There could be any number of reasons for an unhealthy lawn like; soil compaction, excess moss, lots of thatch etc.

Potassium helps to build plant cells, which means more resistance against diseases and drought, and is best applied in spring or autumn. In the heat of an English summer, the grass won’t be growing – in fact, it’s more likely to be scorched by any fertilisers. Stop feeding your lawn during prolonged dry spells, and once there’s been a good rainfall, wait a few days then feed again. Aim to feed the lawn every six to eight weeks throughout the summer.

Reviews

Westland SafeLawn contains grass seed which helps to fill in any sparse areas and create a denser sward. The grass seed blend is made up of creeping red fescue and dwarf perennial ryegrass which is ideal for most home lawns.

Also, it’s only meant to be applied twice a year, so I’d apply it in April and September when there’s plenty of moisture and conditions for growth are at their best. It’s easy to apply but needs watering in so if it doesn’t rain, you’ll want to get the sprinklers on. Both fertilisers are slow-release, which means they’ll release nutrients into the soil slowly, giving your grass a steady supply of nutrients for up to 8 weeks. Scotts have developed a high Nitrogen lawn food for spring/summer when grass growth is at its best. They also have a high Potassium autumn/winter food for strong root development to strengthen the lawn against the stresses of winter. If you’re looking for a straight-up, seasonal granular lawn feed then Scotts Spring/Summer Lawn Builder Lawn Food and Autumn/Winter Lawn Food has to be my favourite.

How to Guide

Westland SafeLawn builds up the condition of your grass, promoting soil health making it a more stronger, resilient and healthier to outcompete weeds and moss. There is no scorch risk when using SafeLawn too due to its natural mode of action. This means it won’t yellow lawn after application. This is an excellent product for giving your lawn a boost of nitrogen when it needs it. However, I wouldn’t use it as my main fertiliser because the Nitrogen content is too high.

This lawn feed is particularly effective when used in the autumn through until spring for ridding your lawn of worm casts too, as the slimy remnants can make mowing the grass rather muddy and slippery. It’s extremely powerful so be sure to use it with caution and experiment with the lowest measurement first: use 1 to 2 grams per litre of water per square metre of lawn and apply with a sprayer for better coverage. As a professional groundsman, I have always used granular lawn fertilisers and each season requires a different percentage of Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphate, as well as other nutrients. It’s a 100% natural fertiliser that breaks down into the soil to feed the roots. As the grass becomes stronger your lawn will start to out-compete weeds and moss, and the special friendly bacteria in SafeLawn converts any dead moss and thatch into nutrients, which helps to feed the grass.Lawn feed isn’t exactly food; it’s more a combination of mineral nutrients that help your grass to grow. Just like other plants, grass needs a regular supply of nutrients to keep it growing healthily. The main nutrients needed are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), each of which provide your lawn with different benefits.

A 7kg bag provides 200m² of lawn coverage, and it should be applied once between April and September when the weeds are actively growing, with a maximum of two applications per year and a gap of at least three months between.
