Looking for weed and moss killer but NO feed.

Hi I'm looking for a weed and moss killer (not killing the grass) but the only ones I have found contain feed also. I would rather not do this as I fed my lawn 7 days ago.

 

Verdone Extra or Vitax Lawn Clear - liquid selective lawn weed killer to spray or water on. Don't compost the clippings and don't put the first few mowings in your Green bin (see instructions for more details)

Iron Sulphate to kill the moss (and magically green-up your lawn!)

 

Is there any substance that will do weeds and moss together? save buying two products?

 

Usually more cost effective to buy separately. You can just treat the areas that need doing and can do it at optimum time, so it is hopefully cheaper that way ... however, it is more of your time to apply them separately, so less convenient.

Fertiliser and Moss Killer needs to be absorbed by the Roots, herbicide by the leaves (I have no idea how Weed & Feed kills weeds, if it is by contact with the leaves it will be a lot less efficient than a spray. With Weed and Feed you have to treat the whole lawn, so unless you have weeds "all over" you are treating areas that don't need the herbicide.

I don't know of a Weed & Moss killed which does not also have a Feed component. You can get ones with Autumn Feed (if you are anxious not to put too much Nitrogen on the grass at this time of the year)

 

Ahh I should clarify, this is for a lawn restoration and yes my lawn is 80% weeds so going to do the whole thing at once.

 

I think at this time of the year you run the risk [if you kill off lots of weeds in your lawn] that the grass won't thicken by the winter and thus the weeds get a hold again next season, so it would best to plan to over-seed in the Autumn. Maybe you are planning to do that? (Sorry if you've mentioned it already / in another thread ... too many to keep in my head!)

You should not be treating the lawn if it is stressed from drought. Mine definitely is, but depends what part of the country you are in (popping your Location in your profile would be handy for reference)

 

Most definitely not stressed from drought!! haha. Live in West Scotland. Its Soaking!

 

Will the weedkiller kill my lobelia and voilas which are in a border alongside the lawn?

 

If it comes into contact with them then Yes,
