Best autumn lawn feed UK

Updated: October 2026

Every autumn roundup calls a different bag the best, and most of them never say best for which lawn. On this page, best autumn lawn feed UK means the best fit inside the listings we compared on amazon.co.uk: a large lawn, a lawn around 80 square metres, or a feed with no iron. The Royal Horticultural Society says most lawns cope without a feed, so buying nothing is a real result. Prices and stars below are the listings in the [autumn lawn fertiliser comparison](/hub/fertiliser-soil-and-bark-mulch/autumn-lawn-fertiliser). The [buying guide](/hub/fertiliser-soil-and-bark-mulch/autumn-lawn-fertiliser/sub/autumn-lawn-fertiliser-buying-guide) explains the NPK checks. Peter F. updated this page in October 2026. This is not a lawn trial.

Best if your lawn is large

For a lawn near 300 square metres, the top pick in this set is the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care bag, ASIN B016QKAOLW, listed at £24.00. The title covers 360 m². amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 1,135 reviews. The bullets say moss blackens within seven days and is raked after two weeks, and they mention added seaweed. Children and pets stay off until the granules are watered in and the areas have dried. That bag does not print an NPK ratio, and it does not include a spreader. The manufacturer's EverGreen 12.6 kg page is marked as discontinued product information. The current 360 m² listing in this set is B0H6JJ5LJX at £24.75. It does print NPK 6-5-10 and iron sulphate. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from two reviews. Two reviews are not a substitute for 1,135. If you need the ratio on the listing, that is the bag. If you want the review record, the EverGreen listing is the one.

Best if your lawn is about 80 square metres

The best value in this set for a small lawn is Miracle-Gro Autumn Lawn Care, ASIN B0BS6WV1YG, at £12.48. Coverage is 80 m². The active-ingredients line states NPK 6-5-10 and iron sulphate. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 440 reviews. The box does not include a spreader. On the listing the unit count is 2,800 g and the item weight says 3.1 kg. The spreader packs cost more and bring their own faults. B0BS6WMF7C at £14.59 has 4.3 from 233 reviews and a spreader in the title. In the Amazon reviews, people describe applicators that arrive smashed. B0H6JCGVM2 at £12.29 includes a spreader and prints 6-5-10, but amazon.co.uk shows 3.8 from five reviews, and those reviews include burnt grass.

Best if you do not want a moss killer

If you will not keep the dog off, or you do not want iron on the paving, leave the granular packs. The GreenCare liquids, from Invigortex, model GC-GFEED, claim cold-pressed seaweed and winter hardiness. You mix 5 ml with 1 litre of water and use a watering can. They do not state an NPK, and they do not claim to kill moss. Each liquid listing has 5.0 from one review. Do not average the three into a stronger score. B0HJX4CRD4 is £12.95 and the title does not state litres. On all three, the product data says 10,000 ml and an item weight of 5 kg. Buy the liquid only if you accept no moss control and you will check the bottle.

Who should skip a feed

The RHS is plain that most lawns do not need feeding to recover from summer. If the grass is dense, you can wait until spring. Northern gardens should not stretch the job into a frost: the useful window on these Miracle-Gro listings is September to November. Skip every iron granule if you cannot keep children and pets off until the lawn is watered in and dry. Skip a summer 4-in-1 even if it is already open. That contrast is on the autumn versus summer feed page. How to spread whatever you do buy is on the how to apply page.

Common questions

What is the best autumn lawn feed in the UK?
Inside this set, the best large-lawn listing is the EverGreen 12.6 kg bag at £24.00, 4.5 from 1,135 reviews, title coverage 360 m². The best small-lawn listing is the 80 m² box at £12.48 with NPK 6-5-10 and 4.4 from 440 reviews. Neither is best in Britain. A lawn that does not need feeding is better with no bag.
Is Miracle-Gro EverGreen autumn still the one to buy?
The manufacturer page for the EverGreen 12.6 kg product is marked discontinued product information. The current Autumn Lawn Care line uses the same 6-5-10. The EverGreen amazon.co.uk listing still shows the long review history. The current 360 m² listing in this set prints the ratio and has only two reviews. Choose the record or the printed ratio, and do not treat them as the same page.
Is the 80 m² box enough?
It is enough for a lawn you have measured at about 80 square metres, once, at the label rate. A 15 m by 20 m lawn is 300 m². Four small boxes cost more per square metre than one £24 bag, and you still have to spread them evenly. If the lawn is 50 m², the small box leaves a little over, which is easier to store than 12.6 kg.
Is the version with a spreader worth the extra pounds?
Sometimes, and the reviews say the applicator is the weak part. The 233-review spreader pack at £14.59 includes broken lids and uneven flow. The £12.29 pack includes a spreader and a stated 6-5-10, with 3.8 from five reviews that mention burning. If you already own a spreader, the £12.48 box without one is the cleaner buy.
Which listing should I avoid if the dog is on the lawn all day?
Avoid any iron granule whose label keeps pets off until the grass is watered in and dry. That sentence is on the EverGreen bag, the £12.48 box and the £14.59 spreader pack. It is missing on several other listings, which is not the same as a promise that pets can stay. The liquids have no iron claim and also no pet line. If you cannot exclude the dog, do not put iron down.
Why not the 5-star liquid?
Because the five stars are one review, the bottle size disagrees with the specification block, and there is no NPK and no moss claim. It can still be the right product if you want seaweed and a watering can. It is the wrong product if you wanted the moss to turn black. A lawn that already looks fine can skip every bag: the RHS says most lawns recover from summer without a feed.
