I've just been looking at the lawn feed and weed stuff in wilko's, and
there seems to be a variety of them, besides different sizes of box etc.

is there any preference between the granules, which I have used
previously, and the liquid which is dispersed by a watering can or such.

Then there is Aftercut, which seems to do the same as the All In Ones.

Is any type or brand better than the others.

I would get a lawn care company to come and feed the lawn 4 times a
year. The grass never looked better. About £60 per annum including feed.

Well a self dispensing carton of Evergreen at about £10.00 does 100 sq
metres - bought a refill in Sainsburys today for £7.
I've not looked closely at Aftercut but I suspect it does what it says
on the tin - enable you to feed immediately after mowing whereas
normally you should wait a few days.

The important thing is to spread the feed reasonably evenly and to the
correct dosage. I can mange that with the granules in the dispenser
quite easily. I suspect a watering can might need a bit more
concentration but would not be impossible.

If you're going to use a Lawn Care company then you might as well also
buy your fruit veg and flowers at the supermarket.

You obviously don't need to apply it just before it rains with the
watering can solution. The application could be tedious on a large area.

It is easier to see where you have hit with the granules.

I buy mine as they remainder it at the end of the spring season ready
for next year - kept dry in plastic it stores very well.
