two weeks ago i applied the green force autumn lawn feed and you can see here's
some results two weeks later on this is in the middle of October the lawn is looking thick
green super lush look at that i'm going to be covering an overview of the results on
how the lawn looks two weeks after the feed an overview of a product called
winter protect and I'm going to be doing the first mow on the lawn so stay tuned for more
this video is sponsored by hygeia who are marketers and manufacturers of a gardening
range called greenforce they've sent me some products so i can document my experience with them
and show you guys some results on the autumn feed and the winter protect after really putting a
lot of time into the front lawn this year you can still see it's looking super nice and healthy the
autumn feed is just to give it a little boost some fresh growth and a bit of a deeper green colour
i'll put a link in the card above in case you missed the application of the autumn feed and
you want to catch up on that which was step one and in this video i'm also going to be doing an
introduction to a second product by green force called the long gold winter protect
now this product doesn't have any npk in it but it's full of slow release iron
magnesium and seaweed which is going to help control the moss throughout the winter period
help to improve the root structure and also control moss
the grass at the moment is quite long it's probably around 70 mil
but really a solid colour right the way throughout
and i can't believe that these are the type of results i'm seeing in the middle of October
overall i'm super impressed with how the feeds come through
let's go and take a look what's going on in the lawn
some of the footprints i've got here is super deep you can tell just how long the grass is
but also how healthy it's looking at the moment i'm getting people walking past and stopping and
checking out the lawn which is always a good sign and before i get into more detail about
the winter protect let's do the first mow after the autumn feed and see how it looks
i've got the setting on 60 mil here and it's probably going to be one of the last before
the final mow of the year i'm just going to take the tops off here and probably do the
last mow around 50 mil and a couple of weeks later i'm going to come back and apply the
winter protect product to help winterise it over the winter period after the last cut's been made
you can see even just from one little pass there just how thick this lawn is it's a
really nice front lawn this was actually the first project lawn that i did back
in the early parts of the lockdown and i'm super chuffed with the results that i'm seeing here
after the first pass i decided to just go over the lawn again
the lawn was a little bit long and it was just still looking a bit untidy after the first mow
and plus i wanted to really burn those stripes in because the lawn's so healthy it's really taken
well to the stripes and there's nothing like a little bit of domination in the neighbourhood
now i wanted to talk to you about the second product in the green force range which is
called the lawn gold winter protect the difference in these two products
is the autumn feed has got npk which is your nitrogen and potassium and phosphorus
and those are good for when you want the plants and the roots to grow but when you're moving
towards the winter months you don't really want to be pushing new growth that's susceptible to
the cold and the plants just generally have got less light and they need less nutrients
to grow in the soil so they're just not going to absorb that product that you're putting down
due to the less light on this you can also see yellowing or sometimes the lawn loses
its green colour and this is where a product like the long gold winter protect can come in
because the slow release iron is going to help maintain a green and healthy look to the lawn
throughout the winter months it's also going to help to control the moss if
you've got a particularly shady area because it contains iron which almost attacks the moss
and turns it black and stops it from reproducing in the lawn
so here's the final results that i've got
you can see the sun's not actually behind me the sun's coming towards me
at this moment and i'm still getting crazy stripes
the long gold winter protect comes in a smaller bag which covers i think around 80
square meters and you can also get this larger bag
which covers up to 400 square meters you're basically going to get the effects that it says
on here which is going to help reinforce the root structure and green up the lawn
it's going to be step three as part of the end-of-year lawn program
and applying it from august right the way through until November you want to stay away from lawns
that have been freshly seeded because the iron can
sort of interfere with some of the new seedlings but for any more established lawns
that are looking for a bit of a boost up then it could be a product to try
if you're looking on how to get the most out of your lawn this autumn and winter

follow-up treatment of the long gold winter protect and also the last mow of the season
