On close inspection of my front lawn there are a lot of weeds. Not just the usual dandelions but other smaller leafed weed variaties. Im thinking of applying a weed & feed product.
Any suggestions on which one works best, as there are plenty to choose from?
Thanks

    I always use: "EverGreen Complete 4 in 1" lawn grass feed weed control. Its pretty good stuff. Here's some spiel I've copied off there website for you:

    EverGreen Complete 4 in 1 feeds lawns, kills weeds, controls moss and its unique Watersmart Formula helps your lawn resist heat, drought and other stresses. Our N+ formula has been developed to deliver the best greening power with visible improvement in seven days and controlled release nitrogen means your lawn will still benefit up to six weeks after treatment. For use on lawns only. Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

    I've a big lawn and to go over it with a watering can would take up quite a bit of time. I have a back pack spray is there any suitable liquid weed and feed I can use in the spray. I'm not particularly worried about he moss as my scarifier takes care of that.

    Any suggestions

    You don't water Evergreen complete on using a watering can, you spread it like grass seed you only need to water it in if there is no rain due. The water activates the treatment.

    I hand spread mine then gave it a quick water with the hosepipe as we've not had any rain recently.

    If you don't have a hose, just spread it during or just before rain is due.
