Analysis

NPK 3-0-20 (chloride-free potassium)

  • NK fertiliser solution 3-0-20 w/w (UK fertiliser)
  • Total nitrogen (N) 3% w/w - all of it ureic nitrogen, for foliar uptake
  • Total phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅) 0% w/w
  • Total potassium oxide (K₂O) 20% w/w (16.6% K), all water-soluble, from a chloride-free source

Potassium is your lawn's overcoat

Nitrogen makes grass grow. Potassium makes it tough. It thickens the cell walls in the leaf, helps the plant manage water, and improves how well it copes with cold, wear and disease pressure - all the things a British lawn is up against from October onwards. Winter's Coming Liquid is 20% potash by weight with only 3% nitrogen, so it puts the emphasis firmly on hardening the grass rather than pushing it into growth it cannot support at that time of year.

Sprayed on, taken up straight away

As autumn goes on, the soil cools and biological activity slows down - which is exactly when granular feeds take longest to break down and release. A liquid sidesteps that. The nitrogen here is ureic, which is taken in through the leaf, and the potassium is fully water-soluble, so the lawn gets what it needs within days rather than waiting on soil temperature and rainfall. It is also the easiest way to treat a lawn that is too soft and wet to walk a spreader over.

Low nitrogen, no phosphorus - on purpose

A high-nitrogen feed in late autumn is a mistake. It forces soft, sappy leaf growth just as the weather turns, and soft grass is exactly what frost damages and disease gets into. The 3% nitrogen here is enough to hold a bit of colour without provoking that flush. There is no phosphorus at all, because an established lawn rarely needs it and it does nothing useful for winter hardiness. The potassium comes from a chloride-free source, which is the form professional greenkeepers specify for fine turf.

Where it fits alongside the granular

Winter's Coming granular is the long, slow one: spread it from late October and it feeds through the winter. The liquid does the same hardening job, but faster and more precisely. Use it in early autumn to get potassium in before the first frosts, top up mid-winter during a mild dry spell if the lawn looks tired, or reach for it when the ground is too wet for a spreader. Plenty of people run both - granular for the base feed, liquid for the top-ups.

Why Mowd?

Concentrated, not watered down

A little goes a long way - one small bottle treats a whole lawn, so you are not paying to ship water around the country.

Straight to work

Diluted and sprayed, it reaches leaf and rootzone the same day rather than waiting on rain to break granules down.

Made by turf pros

Built on 40+ years of sports and domestic turf experience, blended and bottled in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

When should I apply a liquid autumn lawn feed?
From early September through to late November is the main window, while the grass is still growing and the soil is warm enough to take the feed up. Getting it on before the first hard frosts is the point - you want the potassium in the plant before it needs it. You can also top up during a mild, dry spell in mid-winter if the lawn is looking tired. Do not apply to frozen, waterlogged or drought-stressed grass, and avoid spraying in strong sunshine or when heavy rain is due within a few hours.
What does potassium do for a lawn?
Potassium is the hardiness nutrient. It thickens cell walls in the grass leaf, helps the plant regulate water, and improves its tolerance of cold, drought, wear and disease pressure. It does not make the lawn grow or go dramatically greener - that is nitrogen's job - so a high-potassium feed like this one is about resilience rather than looks. That is why it is the analysis of choice going into winter, and why sports turf managers use it before a hard season of play.
Can you put too much potassium on a lawn?
You can over-apply any fertiliser, and excess potassium can compete with magnesium and calcium uptake in the soil. Sticking to the rate on the pack keeps you well inside sensible limits: 2.5 ml per square metre for a normal application, up to 7.5 ml for a lawn that has had a hard season. Do not double up on a high-potassium liquid and a high-potassium granular in the same week - space them out, or use one as the base feed and the other as a top-up.
Can I use this in spring or summer?
You can, but it is not a growth feed - with only 3% nitrogen it will not green up or thicken a lawn the way a spring or summer feed does. Where it does earn its place out of season is under stress: before a heatwave, or on a lawn taking heavy foot traffic, potassium helps the plant handle water and wear. For general spring and summer feeding you want something nitrogen-led instead.
How much do I need for my lawn?
Work on 2.5 ml of concentrate per square metre. That means 100 ml covers up to 40 m², 200 ml up to 80 m², 500 ml up to 200 m² and 1 litre up to 400 m². If you are not sure of your lawn area, a small garden lawn is roughly 50 m², a medium one around 150 m² and a large one about 300 m² - or use our Measure My Lawn tool for something more exact. At the top rate of 7.5 ml per m² each bottle covers a third of that area.
Do I need to water it in?
No. It is already diluted when you spray it, and the nitrogen is taken up through the leaf while the potassium washes in with normal moisture. Apply it on a still day when the grass is dry, and try to pick a window where heavy rain is not forecast for a few hours so it is not washed straight off. Leave a day or two before you mow.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Keep children and pets off the treated lawn until the grass is dry. Handle the concentrate with care: it causes serious eye irritation, so wear protective gloves and eye protection when measuring and mixing, and wash your hands and any exposed skin afterwards. Store the bottle upright, out of reach of children, somewhere cool, dry and frost-free. Always follow the rates and safety guidance on the pack.
Can I apply it with a watering can?
Yes - a watering can with a fine rose works fine on a small lawn, as long as you measure the concentrate accurately and cover the area evenly. For anything much over 100 m² a knapsack or pressure sprayer is easier and gives a far more even result. Whichever you use, shake the bottle well first and rinse the equipment out afterwards.
