Autumn lawn food

Does anyone know if there is a soluble Autumn lawn feed available?  I used Evergreen lawn food earlier this year but am not sure if there is a soluble version for this time of year. I found it so much easier than having to measure and scatter. Many thanks.

    I don't use them, but I doubt it. Granular ones are usually easier in autumn because ground is damper in many areas than in spring. It's easier to over apply and cause damage in drier conditions. Every year we see countless queries on the forum about black lawns.
    Liquids get diluted more easily because of wetter conditions, so they could be slightly less effective than granules.

    Not something we have to worry about here. Getting dry enough weather to apply anything is the most difficult thing  :)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @Fairygirl, thanks, I take your point about the ground being wetter in Autumn, makes sense. One of the reasons I didn't want to use granular is precisely as you say, how often I have read how easy it is to over feed and damage the lawn.

    I know Doff do a liquid Autumn feed, l'm sure l saw it in a local shop the other day.
    Mr Google may be able to assist  :)

    Why do you want to feed your lawn? You may find scarifying, aerating and top dressing is all that's required.
