Aftercut 20400370 Lawn Thickener Feed and Seed Even-Flo Spreader, 80 m2, 2.8 kg, Brown

It's good quality lawn fertiliser lawns thicken and nice and green.

Bo was a bit bashed up resulting in some wastage/spillage inside the box, but overall happy

Lawn looks really lush now

My back lawn was patchy with weeds & bald sections and despite using other products and trying reseeding it wasn't taking. So I called out a lawn treatment company having had a flyer through the door, they gave it a look, said I should cut and water it more frequently and have them treat it throughout the spring & summer and maintain over the autumn and winter periods all for a monthly fee, which seemed reasonable until you added it all up and how much it cost a year.Anyway my neighbour saw the guy leaving & mentioned to me he used to do the same, but was told about Aftercut by another elderly retired neighbour whose grass looks like a bowling green and is immaculate. So I bought a pack with the inbuilt sprinkler and started to use it at the end of spring/start of summer, watering the grass regularly and cutting it weekly. It is now mid September & my lawn after 2.5 tubs of aftercut, weekly cutting & watering now has no weeds, no bald patches and granted it is not a flat green bowling green, but more like a crown green bowling green. I am well pleased with the results and for the money it has saved me on getting someone else in to do the same, but the satisfaction of looking at the lush lawn I resolved myself, well with AfterCut.

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.

Simple to use and it's very effective.Mt garden went to a real vibrant green after only a short while.

After such a hot summer the grass was more brown than green. The fertilizer has certainly worked although the grass seed hasn't produced much growth but certainly looks much better.

Great value and worked like a dream. If you put the effort in and do as the box says, it worked on my lawn.
