Time to give your lawn some love! Fertilising is the secret to that perfect green carpet you've always wanted – perfect for picnics, parties, or just enjoying the view. It's super easy to do and you'll love the results. If you'd rather skip the fertiliser, we've got other ideas for you below.
When to start fertilising your lawn
Hold off on fertilising your lawn until late spring when it's really growing. You only need to fertilise it a couple more times throughout the year. Doing it at other times is just a waste of product and could even hurt your lawn. So, wait until it's nice and warm out before you start.

Fertilising your lawn or other options
There are many ways to enjoy a thriving lawn, even if you choose not to fertilise or maintain a perfectly manicured look. Letting your grass grow naturally, allowing wildflowers to seed, can bring a wealth of biodiversity to your garden, providing habitat for insects and food for larger wildlife. For a unique and low-maintenance option, consider a fragrant creeping thyme or chamomile lawn.
Fertilising your lawn tips
It's crucial to use the right lawn fertiliser at the right time. Spring and autumn feeds have distinct nutrient compositions designed for different stages of grass growth. Avoid inexpensive fertilisers that are too high in nitrogen, as these can provide short-term results but are not ideal for long-term lawn health. Opt for a balanced fertiliser that's easy to apply.
