Lawn feeding in winter
I have bought a bag of Gem Autumn lawn feed.
Reading the back it says that I must wait until the grass is dry and do not feed unless it will rain within two days or scorching may occur. The problem is the grass is never dry at this time of year and it doesn't look like it will rain for a while. Can anyone offer any solution? |

I have a strong feeling that stuff sold as an autumn feed smells like snake oil. Franz |

Basically don't worry too much about the grass being dry, but do wait until rain is forecast other wise you will have to get the hose pipe out to avoid scorching - and what a plonker you will look, watering your lawn in December!!!! One other suggestion - apply at about half the recommended rate - and do it twice about 2 weeks apart. That way you will also minimise the risk of scorching. -- hugh Reply to address is valid at the time of posting |

Can anyone offer any solution? put it down now be no problem as long as you apply it properly it wont scorch applying when the grass is damp is better as the granules will start to break down immediately thus reducing the risk of scorching good luck |
