I've just had turf laid, and in preperation I bought Miracle grow lawn food
to try and help with the growth, but after the men had finished I told them
what I intended to do and one of them said it was a waste of time and should
leave it untill the spring.
So I decided to post to this group to see wether or not this is the right
thing to do as it says on the box to apply soon after the turf is laid.
By the way the turf doesn't look very good I think it's what you'd call
meadow grass? I can't complain either as it is a rented property.
TIA

It is indeed a waste of time and effort doing anything to the lawn now as far as feeding is concerned. If you wait until about mid March (ish) and use half the recomended dose it should get things going, but I'd be tempted to just water in dry weather after growth starts and not feed at all to be honest. Encourage the roots to go out looking for their own food, as this will make the whole lawn stronger in the long run.
