Lawn weed-and-feed products

LAWN weed, feed and moss killer treatments rank alongside the self-winding hose reel and the electric rotary lawn mower as one of the best-ever labour-saving gardening inventions. For around £10-£15, and the expenditure of a little gentle exercise, you can turn an average-sized patch of weedy, stunted and moss-riddled grass into a lawn to be proud of within a few weeks.

Combined weed-and-feed treatments contain chemicals that kill broadleaved weeds like clover, dandelions and daisies without harming the grass. They also contain a chemical to kill moss, and a fertiliser to boost grass growth. All three components work at the same time, and you’ll often see results within a week.
