One of the simplest ways to compare products that perform in the same way but are sold at different prices in different weights, is to look at the cost per m2. This is where the difference leaps out.
Four-in-one Treatments – A Quick Example
One of our most popular products, Nutrigrow Feed, Weed and Moss Killer is sold in a 20kg bag, covering 625 m2 and working out at just £0.049 per m2. That’s great value for a high performing best-seller.
The product earns its high value badge by tackling the most common lawn frustrations simultaneously:
- Greening: A nitrogen-rich boost that turns a tired, yellowing lawn into a lush, deep green carpet in just a few days.
- Weed Control: Selective herbicides target broad-leaved weeds like dandelions and clover without harming the grass.
- Moss Eradication: High iron content dehydrates moss, turning it black so it can be easily raked away.
- Root Strengthening: Beyond just looks, it feeds the roots to ensure the lawn is resilient against foot traffic and drought.
By thickening the grass sward, it naturally crowds out future weed seeds and moss spores, meaning fewer rescue treatments later in the season. It’s a proactive investment that transforms a high-maintenance chore into a simple, seasonal routine, giving you a professional-looking lawn without the high price tag.
Understanding coverage rates might force you to get the tape measure out – but once you know the area, you can buy and apply more efficiently and make product comparisons more effectively.
So, rather than spreading what you’ve bought until the bag is empty, you’ll know exactly how much product to put into each square metre – giving your grass the optimal dose to stay healthy without under or over applying.
