Lawn Feed

Hi everyone?

I have bought myself some everris lawn feed and wondered if anyone could tell me how soon after application does it need to be watered in? We have rain forecast for Friday and Saturday however the only time I can put it on is tomorrow and I don't have the means to water it in manually! Will it do damage to wait that long? 

I have read the package but it is not particularly clear! 

Thanks in advance guys!

  • Thanks Verdun, 

    This is what worries me. I wonder if perhaps I should just wait until the next rainfall! Put it on the day before. Goodness knows when that may be though! Not that i'm complaining if course!

    Next door is away from holiday and the Green Thumb people put a weed n feed down: it is not doing anything as it has been some time since it rained, just lots of little coloured balls in the lawn. Can you use a watering can to water the lawn?? It is water that dissolves the feed and helps the formulae to work.

  • You see blairs, I thought that. The professionals don't wait until it rains to apply feed, they just go head and do it so maybe it's not so bad?! Problem is I don't want to risk scorching the grass!

    I have scorched my grass with lawn n feed, so I no longer use it. If you avoid putting lots in one spot then you avoid the scotching.
