Organic Lawn Feed

[Greenkeeper2021]

Good Morning everyone from Ireland.

I am hoping to scarify my lawn next week. The weather averaged 12'c last week.

I would like to make my own organic Lawn feed. I am open to any recommendations for an organic homemade liquid lawn feed.

Is there a popular choice of items that can be composted for lawn feed, especially for overseeding and also fertilising the new grass to keep it healthy.

Thank you in advance.

Hello friend. You can have good results using composted compost or aged composted manure. Just top-dress and spread a layer on top of the lawn. You can top-dress 3 times during the growing Season. Good luck and keep us posted.

Think high nitrogen content, so manure is a good choice.

Hello friend and many thanks for your helpful response.

I will follow this method and keep you updated, excited to do this as the lawn needs scarification after the Irish winter.

Hello, nice one and cheers for that. I will work and source manure for the lawn.

You can also use fish emulsion if you want a liquid you can spray.

Apologies for the very late response, appreciate the advice as did try it over the past few weeks and seen success!

Really appreciate the advice, lawn has been in great condition.

I scarified this evening with a hand rake and top dressed again with organic compost and applied organic fertilizer and grass seed.

Super happy with how the lawn has been!!
