  • It's Sainsbury's Lawn Feed Weed and Mosskiller (made by Westland). I have now emailed Westland to see what they say.

    Yes it does say compost clippings for six months and do not use first three mowings for mulching. I'll wait a few weeks and plant away I think...

    Thanks everyone for your helpimage

    I don't like these, 2, 4-D id a hormone weedkiller that can leave you with distorted growth on broadleaved plants for some time. It isn't inactivated on contact with the soil nor does it only affect what it touches. 

    All chemicals should be used with great care if you can't manage without them.
