    I use Scotts Renovator Pro.. It is a combined weed, feed & moss killer as we get quite abit of moss because of the trees.. If you don't have moss their Cleanrun Pro is good too.. I got to hear of it because that is what we use on our sports pitches, get it on line from HERE

      I prefer a liquid feed or weed for my lawns , I feel I can get an even coverage and don't have to wait for it to rain. I have used Verdone weed and feed every spring for years it seems OK . They also do a lawn weedkiller, which has good reviews - I have never used it, as my lawns are 100% weed free , bright emerald green and like a putting green ( fingers crossed :whistle: )

      If you only have a few weeds a spray spot lawn weedkiller may be OK for you.

            Like Harry says...Verdone lawn weedkiller. It's very very good.
            The weed and feed stuff (of any kind) will feed the broad leaf weeds if it doesn't get them so, I wouldn't use it unless you've just got moss.
            These people know their stuff..

              I never use the combination feed/weed/moss killers,tend to be Jacks of all trades.
              Better to treat the various problems separately.
