Can anyone give me an idea when I should start to use Autumn lawn food please? I have used a summer one (feed only, with a separate lawn weed killer) but am wondering do I now need to switch to the weed,feed and moss killer type? Any recommendations as to what works for you welcome. Thank you

    Autumn feeds are not the same as summer / spring feeds for example evergreen 4-1 is a Spring / summer fertiliser.  Autumn feed don't tend to have lawn weedkiller in them either so you'll have to spot treat weeds. I tend to give my lawn a iron sulphate treatment it kills the moss and toughens the turf up for over winter. If you want a granular autumn feed something like evergreen autumn lawn care it has moss killer and is high in potassium which is good for toughing up the grass against disease .

    Depends on where you are in the country when its applied I am going to the one last summer feed which will last 4 weeks then go into autumn lawn care late sept / early October.

    Many thanks @Perki I do have iron sulphate but have never quite mastered the ratio. Could you enlighten me please?. Meanwhile I will do a last summer feed for now.
