Another potential issue is that I'm growing some potatoes in a raised bed near the compost bin. Are they likely to go for those? If so, is there any way to protect them? There is currently some mesh over the top but I'll need to remove it soon to allow the potatoes to grow.

As you have already purchased the product, why not try it on a small section of your lawn, as previously suggested, to see how effective it is. If you follow the instructions you won’t do any harm.
