Westland 20400352 SafeLawn Child and Pet Friendly Natural Lawn Feed 80 m2, Green, 2.8 kg

Product Information

Seaweed promoteshealth, goodness and biological activity within the grass and the soil producing a greener, stronger and more disease resistant lawn. This product arrives ready to use in its own spray bottle removing the need to mix and measure, however the bottle only contains 1 litre of pet friendly weed killer, so you’ll probably need more than one to finish anything over 35 square metres. MO Bacter is the best natural and organic product for killing lawn moss, it contains no harmful chemicals at all and is 100% safe to use around children, pets and all wildlife. I’ve seen organic gardeners use vinegar to suppress weeds, but in reality, it will only scorch the weeds and rarely kills the roots. Almost all of the organic gurus I’ve seen suggest that vinegar and salt together is the best solution, but too much salt can ruin your flowerbeds and kill off plants.

This pet friendly weed killer does contain glyphosate so watch where you spray it near your grass and flower beds or you’ll case damage to them, but if it gets onto bare soil, it shouldn’t adversely effect it in any way. The following recommendations should be kept in mind when choosing a pet-friendly weed and feed product for your lawn:

There are three factors that control how long fertiliser takes to work. The availability of moisture, the temperature and the type of fertiliser. Salty water is a pet-friendly weed killer for use on hard surfaces. However, too much salt is bad for the ground as it persists and can stop plants from growing for several years. My issue with salt is; it isn’t selective, and soil contamination will affect all plants. If you must use it, I’ve found that if you mix one part salt to five parts water and apply directly to the leaves of the weeds, you should get good results. It would be best if you didn’t use salt regularly, but it’s okay as a one-off (i.e. once a year) treatment of weeds on hard surfaces, provided you don’t allow excess salt to run off the leaves of the weeds. I am a qualified gardener and horticulturalist and love everything that grows! Whether it's a shrub, a tree, a useful plant or a supposed weed: for me, every plant is a little miracle.

The spray action on the bottle works well, and doesn’t feel too flimsy like it can on some products, and the top of the bottle is quite ergonomic so it fits comfortably in the hand. This is where organic weed killers come up short when compared to their glyphosate loaded siblings. Performance varies from product to product but when all has been said and done, I don’t think there’s an organic et friendly weed killer that can match a chemically based one. Something I wasn’t so keen on was the odour of this weed killer. It wasn’t horrendous, but you could never call it pleasant either, and it was quite strong.Weedol’s Pathclear will be broken down in the soil and should allow for replanting n the area fairly soon after the weeds have gone, but it will harm your other plants so be careful with that sprayer. February is pretty quiet but March would be my first cut and scarify session. Don’t be scared of scarifying. If you have a super cool scarifier/aerator like the one linked in the guide here again for convenience, it’s no more effort than mowing the lawn… April/May

The ultimate pet-friendly moss killer for lawns, MO Bacter contains a natural bacteria that eats away at the moss until it breaks down into a feed for the lawn. For small animals which actually graze on grass, such as rabbits, guinea pigs and tortoises, then I advise a slightly different approach. It is not advisable for these small animals to eat grass which has recently been treated with a systemic herbicide or fungicide. Again, any risk would be very low, but as these animals are very small, and the quantity of grass in their diet can be quite high, it is advised that small grazing animals should not go on a lawn for at least six weeks after treating. This gives enough time for any chemical residues to grow out of the grass. Keeping your pets safe Pet Safe: If you are after a pet-safe organic weed treatment for your lawn, make sure it says so on the bottle. Final Verdict If you're looking for an organic weed and feed safe for pets, skip using a commercial product with synthetic ingredients. Instead, go for the all-natural route by using organic weed control. You can do this with corn gluten meal, which dries the weed seeds as they sprout. This effectively gets rid of them before they overtake and ruin your yard. Specification: Active ingredient: 100% natural (Glyphosate free) , Results In: Within 3 hours , Replant In: In 3 daysTry not to be overzealous if you apply by hand or similar. You’ll end up with brown patches if you over apply the mix. This is why I prefer a spreader so much more so it’s bulletproof. That is not a problem with this pet friendly weed killer. It is completely waterproof after only 3 hours or so and a those all too frequent showers won’t do it any harm.
