How the calculator works

The tool calculates area in square metres and multiplies it by your fertiliser rate in grams per square metre. Results are shown in grams, kilograms, and rounded bag counts.

Coverage per bag helps compare products quickly, but always match your final application to the label and local guidance.

Frequently asked questions

How much lawn fertiliser should I apply?

Use the rate on the product label in g/m², then multiply by your lawn area. Applying exactly to label guidance keeps nutrition balanced.

What happens if I apply too much fertiliser?

Over-application can scorch grass and increase nutrient loss. If this happens, water well and avoid applying more product until recovery.

Should I water after applying lawn fertiliser?

Many granular fertilisers perform best with light watering after application, unless the label says otherwise.

How often should I fertilise a lawn?

Frequency depends on product type and season. Follow manufacturer guidance and avoid frequent heavy applications.
