How to choose the best liquid fertiliser for your lawn

Make it Grow

For rapid growth and root development

Our Make it Grow liquid fertiliser is ideal for use in spring and summer as either a treatment to soil in preparation for enhanced germination of grass seedlings and strong root development. Alternatively, applying this fertiliser to already established grass will give it a burst in nutrients to help any tired-looking lawn.

• NPK Breakdown: 9-4-6 (9 Nitrogen / 4 Phosphorus / 6 Potassium)
• Rapid lawn repair
• Contains seaweed extract and humic acid for added nutritional benefits
• For use between March and September
• Can be used on grass leaf and roots

Make it Green

For a vibrant green colour and lawn revival

Perfect for use on established lawns, our Make it Green liquid fertiliser acts quickly to revive tired grass and helps bring your lawn back to its former glory! It works great for giving your lawn a wake-up call after winter to have it springing into action during spring or to use in summer where the wear and tear of summer fun has left your lawn looking worse for wear.

This liquid fertiliser is rich in nitrogen and packs a punch when it comes to sorting out the health of your lawn! Nitrogen is a major player in the growth and maintenance of your lawn, and it’s essential in ensuring that your grass is healthy, nutritious and vibrantly green. We have also added phosphorus and potassium to this nitrogen-laden feed to enhance grass growth and protect your lawn against unwelcome grass diseases.

• NPK Breakdown: 15-3-3 (15 Nitrogen / 3 Phosphorus / 3 Potassium)
• Fast-acting grass feed
• Nitrogen-rich formula for a lush & vibrantly green lawn
• Spring/summer fertiliser
• For established lawns
• Can be applied every 6-8 weeks

Make it Strong

For grass resilience and locking in nutrients

Prepare your lawn for the colder months ahead with our Make it Strong liquid fertiliser. 

Formulated specifically to help your grass fight against winter diseases and harsh conditions, this fertiliser contains the perfect balance of nitrogen, potassium and phosphate for grass resilience. By adding potassium to your lawn, you will be enhancing its ability to resist environmental stresses, particularly winter diseases like Red Thread and Fusarium Patch (Snow Mould). Phosphate strengthens grass blades and maintains your lawn's healthy and lush appearance. This feed also contains a small amount of nitrogen which works alongside the other nutrients to maximise impact.

To achieve the best results when using Make it Strong, we recommend using this liquid fertiliser during the autumn and winter months. This liquid fertiliser is best used from August to October, giving the fertiliser time to get to work before cold weather arrives in early November.

• NPK Breakdown: 3-6-6 (3 Nitrogen / 6 Phosphorus / 6 Potassium)
• Locks in nutrients
• Fights off diseases
• For established lawns
• Can be applied every 6-8 weeks
• For use in autumn/winter

Understanding NPK rating for liquid fertiliser

NPK is the symbol of the chemical elements that make up plant fertilisers, which applies to granular and liquid fertilisers.

N - Nitrogen

For greeness and growth

P – Phosphorous

For root development and establishment

K – Potassium

For strength and resilience against disease

There are different ratios of each component in each of our liquid fertilisers. Three numbers indicate the levels of each in the fertilisers, representing the NPK ratio in that order.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are vital for healthy plant growth but are not always available in the soil due to soil quality or how long plants have been growing and extracting nutrients in that area. This is where grass fertiliser benefits your lawn, ensuring your grass grows well all year round.
