Tomorite contain the nutrients that will promote flowering and fruiting which is not what you want your lawn to do.
For a lawn with a problem I would use a proprietary autumn lawn feed.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lawn feed would have a higher nitrogen content than tomato feeder. Any basic lawn feed at the right concentration and spread will do the job, as would any suitable high nitrogen product at the right dilution.
You could use chicken pellets (at the recommend rate) until the autumn...then (in an ideal world
) after scarifying & spiking, apply an autumn feed with phosphates as the main ingredient.
Oh, & tomorite....no, for as Dove says.
