Product Description

Our Quick Release: Autumn/Winter fertiliser is a nutrient-filled feed that is high in phosphate and potassium – the two elements your lawn needs to be protected against winter borne diseases such as Red Thread and Fusarium Patch (Snow Mould). This premium protection fertiliser treatment will see your lawn through winter and prepped and prepared for a healthy summer sward in early spring.

This fertiliser carries minimal risk of scorching your grass blades, however, remember to water it off or apply just before the rain is due. For more information on all things fertiliser, read our Fertiliser FAQs.

Mixture Breakdown

NPK 3.12.12

Usage Guide

• Apply our fertiliser at the recommended rate by hand when wearing a glove or by using a spreader
• Water the fertiliser in until it dissolves
• Keep kids and pets away from the lawn during application and until the granules dissolve
• Remove / water off any footwear you were wearing during the application of the fertiliser to avoid any risk of damage to newly laid patios / stone flag flooring

Not watering your fertiliser in can potentially scorch existing grass or delay the benefits of the fertiliser.If after watering the fertiliser does not disappear and dissolve off the surface, water until you cannot see the granules.

You can apply this fertiliser from August to October. For a feed that will protect your lawn for longer going into winter, you may wish to consider our SLOW RELEASE: Autumn / Winter fertiliser.

Use	August to October
Spreading Rate	70g per m2
Watering	This fertiliser MUST be watered in - granules should not be visible after application if watered in sufficiently.

Aftercare

• If you are planning to overseed or sow a new lawn from scratch, you can do so once the fertiliser granules have dissolved

Hi, I prepared the soil according to the instructions and left it a week then put down the fertiliser and raked over it, i have watered it thoroughly and it is not dissolving at all it is still looks like bits of sand, I have now watered it 5 times. What should I do? I wanted to sow the seed asap but can’t as it won’t dissolve. (I even put some in some water to see if it dissolved and it hasn’t)
Thanks

Question by: Amy on 6 Jul 2023, 17:48

Hi, thank you for your question. It can take a few days of watering for the granules to dissolve. One most of the granules have dissolved, it is safe to sow the seed. Any remaining granules will dissolve when the seeds are watered.

20kg is far more than I need, what's the shelf life after the bag is opened. Will I be able to use it again the following year?

Question by: Jon on 2 Jul 2023, 20:03

Thank you for your question.

Yes, you can continue to use the fertiliser each year. Our fertiliser will keep for up to four years if stored in a cool dry place.

My lawn is in a really bad state, and will need scarifing and overseeding. Should i do this at the same time as seeding? I dont want to waste the 'goodness' on dead grass thatch which is going to get pulled up when scarified . . .

Question by: Andy on 15 Aug 2022, 11:56

Hi Andy, thank you for your question. I would recommend scarifying, weeding, and mowing your lawn 3-4 days before applying the fertiliser. You can check out our full step by step guide on the best way to fertilise your lawn here: https://thegrasspeople.com/how-to-fertilise-a-lawn

My lawn has been overrun by mushrooms and I am told nitrogen-rich fertilizer can help eliminate this problem. Please advise.

Question by: Rhona Chrystal on 24 Oct 2021, 16:11

Hi, if you wish to apply a nitrogen rich fertiliser then you would be best with the QUICK RELEASE: Spring Summer Fertiliser. This is an intensive nitrogen rich fertiliser which will work for up to 6 weeks.

Hello,
Can this be applied every 6 weeks starting now (mid October) through to January/February time?
Thank you

Question by: Andrew Salmons on 24 Oct 2021, 11:12

Hi Andrew, whilst you can apply this product every 6 weeks it will be more difficult later in the season when the temperature drops and the ground freezes. You may wish to consider the SLOW RELEASE option. This is is an Autumn Winter fertilsier laso and will provide protection againt the colder weather. It releases nurients at a more controlled rate and will last up to 16 weeks.

Hello. I had a new turf lawn laid two weeks ago (26th September) and no fertilizer was applied to the soil! Should and when do I apply an autumn feed? My lawn is establishing nicely and growing well as it has been more or less raining continuously since it was laid! Thank you. Take care. Linda

Question by: Linda Squires on 8 Oct 2020, 21:20

Hi Linda

We always recommend a seasonal feed however I would hold off on applying anything now. I would recommend that you wait until the lawn is more established, just another few weeks or so then apply a feed. The Autumn/Winter fertiliser will help harden the new sward protecting it from the colder weather and winter diseases. The OUICK RELEASE: Autumn/Winter Fertiliser will keep the lawn protected for up to six weeks.

Answer by: Roisin McCann on 9 Oct 2020, 13:39

What frequency would you advise?Weekly?

Question by: Laura on 24 Sept 2020, 21:52

Hi Laura

This is a 6 week feed that protects the lawn from winter disease and frost during the colder months. It can be applied every 6 weeks in autumn / winter.

Many Thanks
