      Frequently Asked Questions

      FAQs

      Q: How quickly will the this pre seed fertiliser start working?

      A: You should start to see results within 4-7 days from when the product is watered in, although a lot of the work done by Roots and Shoots pre-seed fertiliser is done underground - so it may not ben obvious at first glance! You will see better germination rates and thicker shoots that develop faster.

      Q: Can this pre-seed fertiliser be used for overseeding and turning projects?

      A: Yes - it has high Phosphorus (P) to help the roots develop, so is perfect for lawn renovations, turning, or local patch seeding. You can apply it for up to 1 week before you seed, and if applying it to new turf, apply it underneath the turf so it gets to work quicker!

      Q: Can I spread this fertiliser by hand?

      A: Yes - you can spread this fertiliser by hand, but we recommend using a quality fertiliser spreader to ensure the most even application. Each purchase comes with instructions on how to spread it for the best results. Check out our collection of fertiliser spreaders for all-size lawns. Whatever you choose, we recommend wearing gloves when handling fertiliser.

      Q: How much fertiliser do I need?

      A: Each 1 kg bag will cover 30m2. Choose your lawn size from the drop-down menu and we will automatically select the required amount of fertiliser your lawn needs. Not sure how big our lawn is? Don't panic, try our online lawn measuring tool and measure the size of your lawn from the comfort of indoors! If you have a large area to cover, we can supply 20kg bags - please get in touch with your requirements.

      Q: How long will this lawn feed last?

      A: This fertiliser is designed to get all of its nutrients to the seed and roots as soon as possible. It will typically last 4-6 weeks, but this depends on a few factors such as grass type, weather conditions, whether you collect grass clippings or mulch, application rate, etc.

      Healthy Roots = Healthy Shoots

      Grass seed has enough nitrogen to sustain itself in the early stages, but a good dose of phosphorus will help the roots establish deep and thick, allowing the grass to access moisture and nutrients
