I have half a box of autumn lawn feed left over from last year, is it worth applying it now or will there be no advantage?

    It won't do any harm and better to be on the lawn than in the box!  But autumn lawn feeds tend to be lower in Nitrogen than the usual spring ones, so it will do a less good job at giving that spring boost.  Better than nothing, though!

    I will still be applying a spring feed too.

    Then the daisies and any other flowering weeds will thank you much more than the lawn will!  :)
