Westland Triple Care currently costs £10 on Amazon[/caption]
A fellow gardener had made a plea for help after using Westland Triple Care on their grass, which they claim left it looking “patchy.”
Taking to the Facebook group Gardening on a Budget Official, they shared: “What on earth! “The grass was a little patchy and had some moss.
“I used this last week after spending two days using an aerator.
“The state of the grass now…..
“It wasn’t like this before using this box of destruction!
“This is my first post on here and some help or advice would be appreciated. What should I do now.”
Thankfully the gardening fan had some words of advice to save the day – and said that Westland Triple Care, which is £10 on Amazon, did actually work for her.
They explained that it is aerating that “does that” to lawns, but you need to “water at least half an hour a day after using the seeds” to revive it.
She explained the same thing had happened to her, and said: “Mine was aerated. I was gutted, cried for a week.
“I waited till it was warmer as done in March, then I seeded, used two large boxes as did back and front.
“I put the sprinkler on every morning at 7 o clock and every evening at 9 o clock.
“Once you get all the dead stuff up, sprinkle more, see and wait.
“Mine took 6 weeks of true dedication.
“I watered whether it rained or not as lawns are dry as a bone two inch down.
“All is not lost, good luck.”

The upset gardener thanked her for her help and said he would “water, water, water” his grass.
The Westland Triple Care lawn feed is said to “nourish your grass but also tackle weeds and moss head-on.”
It is said to create “a strong and healthy lawn”, with greening visible within seven days – if used between the months of February and October.
