    ok some silly questions, but want to be safe rather than sorry. If lawn fertiliser says rate is 25g per square metre and lawn is say 8m x 6m does this mean I should use 24 x 25g?

    also as regards weighing out granules I have measuring jugs which seem to give weight in grams for flour - would this be close enough?

    finally bought a universal spreader in lidl and was wondering if there's anything to watch out for when using it.

    Thanks. :)

    6 x 8 = 48 at 25g is 1200g

    Could be, could be not, couldn't say for sure. Better off trying to work out a portion of whatever size bag you buy.

    Know nothing about it. One tip, for all lawn fertilizers is to watch for rain, you need id to get the fertilizers into the soil, otherwise it just sits there and potentially burns the grass
