Lawn feeds contain a number of essential nutrients that keep grass green and healthy. The most important of these are nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K).
These three elements are present in most of the lawn fertiliser products you'll find in shops. If you want to know how much nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium your chosen lawn feed contains, simply check the NPK ration on the packaging.
Types of Fertiliser: What's the Right Choice?
In addition to these three core ingredients, lawn feeds often contain a variety of other 'trace' elements such as:
- Iron
- Sulphur
- Copper
- Manganese
- Zinc
- Magnesium
All of these elements have a role to play in the long-term health of your lawn. Read our blog post on different types of fertiliser if you're not quite sure what sort of lawn feed to purchase.
What kind of lawn feed do we use?
We at Lawn & Weed Expert use specially-formulated fertilisers that are not available to the general public - only to industry professionals like us.
Using the wrong amount of lawn feed or the wrong combination of nutrients can result in a variety of issues (such as fertiliser burn), so we strongly recommend leaving this job to the experts. We offer a professional lawn fertiliser service that will help your grass to stay in tip-top shape; we are based in Cardiff, but this service is available throughout South Wales.
