Aftercut 20400372 Lawn Thickener Feed and Seed, 100 m2, 3.5 kg, Brown

This is great stuff. I mowed & raked my lawn and then spread this over and the results are great. Photos show the day I mowed & then 9 days later

Ok

I’ve been using the Aftercut Lawn Thickener Feed and Seed for a few years now, and each year, I’m impressed with the results! I have two small-sized lawns, and this 5.25 kg bag easily covers the area as advertised. The application process is simple, and the spreader works well, giving an even distribution. What I love most is how quickly this product starts to work. After a few days, there will be new grass growth, and my lawns start looking thicker and more vibrant. The mix of feed and seed really helps improve the overall health of the grass, and I can see fewer bare patches in just a couple of weeks. I also appreciate the product's green tint—it made it easy to see where I've applied it, and I don't miss any spots. My lawns look much healthier within a short time after use, and I’ve had fewer weeds popping up compared to before. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their lawn. It’s a great value for the size, and it really delivers the results!

Didn't go far

Forewarning: This isn't well sealed and much of the contents spilled within the Amazon package. I opened this in my kitchen; so it was a chore to find all the tiny NPK pellets before they had a chance to stain the lino. Ergo, open the Amazon parcel outside. As for my experience; the box says it can be spread by hand and the first application made the lawn look considerably worse - like green cowhide a month in. After making my own spreader contraption from a cup, a rubber band, piece of paper and a pen to stab holes in the paper - things got a little more on track. I used a whey scoop to fill the cup and walked out from each tile - going for about 30g scoop for each 1/9th strip of my 45m² lawn; that's one-fifth of the monthly dose. So I applied it every week after each mow instead. This got the lawn back to a uniform colour pretty quick thankfully; a few weeks of the new regime of mow and sprinkle did the trick. I wouldn't bother following the watering guidelines unless you're in a heatwave. The grass seed is on the skimpy side so keeping the grass watered is only a worthwhile investment if it's being baked. I tried daily watering during the first month; not much happened (exception: water meter went slightly up). Instead, I'd say aim to apply it in periods of overcast weather with light showers. As for doing its job and thickening the lawn - it's doing it; just very, very slowly. The claims from the box are lofty compared to my results. It's thickened out the perimeter of the lawn but the center areas are struggling to thicken up - and those were the problem areas to begin with. I'm going to give it a few more weeks - I'm hopeful the last third of the box gets my back lawn to what I'd expect - but it's too soon to tell. If it goes well I might be back to post pictures.

This does what it says on the box, you need patience as it’s not instant. I scalped the lawn, scarified it manually with a rake, applied lawn weed killer as there were more weeds than grass - this took around 2-3 weeks to take effect. I then scalped the lawn and took it as low as it could go, you can see from the original photo how patchy it was where the weeds were removed. I’ve applied this feed every two weeks after a cut on grade 3 and the growth and thickness is improving each week. It still has some patchiness but I expect that to fill in as the weeks go on, I’ve also been avidly watering the lawn when we’ve had a warm dry day I think this is as important as the feeding you cant expect it to do it all by itself. So here it is…I’m officially old excited about grass health and growth and stand watering it before bedtime.

I'm not sure how much it's done. I used an electric lawn raker before applying. The bare patches may be a littler fuller but certainly not filled in properly. I watered it every evening with a sprinkler the first two weeks. I didn't see any new grass spouting. The grass is greener but a simple lawn feed would also do that. In future I will use separately lawn feed and grass seed.

Great service excellent value. Always improved my lawn .
