Amazon's best-selling MiracleGro banishes weeds and improves lawns ‘within days'
The 4-in-1 MiracleGro is Amazon's number one best seller and has shoppers raving about how quickly it improved the look of their lawn and got rid of moss and weeds
Keeping your garden looking its best can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, especially when your carefully curated lawn ends up looking patchy or when weeds start sprouting up. Although a typical weed killer can help banish pesky moss and weeds from your grass, some types can also end up damaging the grass around it, leaving it looking worse for wear.
That's why shoppers have bought so much of the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4-in-1 Spreader that it's become Amazon's number one best seller in the lawn fertiliser section. The £14.50 lawn treatment not only gets rid of the weeds, but helps nourish and fertilise your lawn, with some saying they'd seen results in as quickly as a few days.
The Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Spreader has a blend of nutrients and minerals that kill off unwanted weeds and moss whilst nourishing your grass at the same time. Its WaterSmart formula helps build strong roots in your lawn which makes it easier for it to withstand things like heat and droughts, avoiding those dreaded yellow and brown patches during the summer.
That means that whilst the moss and weeds are dying off, your lawn is also getting some extra TLC to keep it growing stronger and healthier throughout the year. It's best used between the months of April and September when weeds are actively growing, and instructions say to apply it when the weather is fair, the soils moist and the grass itself is dry and frost free.
To get the best results, you need to apply a maximum or 35g of the Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Spreader per square metre of lawn and make sure it's evenly applied. After one week your grass should look greener, after two weeks moss will start to blacken and need raking out, and between three and five weeks later you should have full control over weeds.
It's important to note that it'll only be safe for children and pets to use the lawn once the granules have been thoroughly watered in and the area has fully dried. If you want something that's completely safe for both pets and children, the Westland Safe Lawn Box for 80m2 is £10 at Sainsbury's, or you can buy a larger 14kg box for £24.95 (down from £29.99) at Amazon.
The Westland Safe Lawn treatment prevents weeds and moss naturally, and encourages grass to grow stronger and outcompete them, whilst using friendly bacteria to transform dead moss into nutrients for your lawn. It's also made with natural ingredients and is immediately safe for pets and children to access the lawn.
The Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Spreader however has more than 1300 five star reviews on Amazon, with one shopper saying: 'Always been a great product. Improves the colour and appearance of your lawn within days.'
Another agreed: 'Great product and value for money. Improves colour and appearance of your lawn. Has a big coverage and improves the growth rate. I was really impressed with this.'
Some were less impressed, saying: 'Though it appears to be killing the weeds after spreading we found it awful stuff it was getting on our feet and marking the decking and trailing in to the house especially if you have pets, and it you get it on your clothing it leaves a yellow stain.'
Another added: 'Killed some of the moss but didn't touch any of the weeds. made the grass grow faster.'
Others loved its results though, writing: 'Use this regularly throughout the year. I get a lot of moss during winter so this kills the moss and weeds and helps grass to grow. Easy to sprinkle with the built in spout. Works well. Worth the money.'

Dog owner with six pets shares 10 things every owner needs - and one is 'lifesaver'
From grooming products to items that will make your home cleaner, these are the essentials every pet parent needs. An American dog lover with a pack of six has shared her top ten must-haves for fellow canine carers. Owning a pet, particularly a dog, requires dedication and thoughtfulness to ensure they lead a happy life, encompassing everything from basic needs like sustenance to enrichment items such as playthings. Regular walks are part of the routine for many dog owners to ensure their furry friends get the exercise they need. Typically, dog owners equip themselves with essentials like leads and collars to maintain control over their pets in public spaces, including parks. It's common for them to also invest in food and water dishes, comfortable bedding, and grooming necessities like shampoos, clippers, and brushes. Tracy Fosterling from Jacksonville, Florida, not only has six dogs and two cats but also champions dog fostering. She's an avid "rescue advocate" and utilises social media platforms to document her experiences as a foster dog mother, inspiring others to take up fostering, reports the Express. In a bid to assist other dog parents, she uploaded a TikTok video stating: "Here are the ten things that every dog parent needs, let's go. And this is coming from someone who has six dogs. I use all of these things, none of it is sponsored, they're just lifesavers." 1. Mudbuster Tracy mentioned that it "cleans up perfectly." The product description on Amazon reveals that the Mudbuster uses soft silicone bristles to effectively cleanse dirt and mud from a dog's paws. 2. K.O.E cleaner "It's amazing and this bottle will last forever." K.O.E., which stands for Kennel Odor Eliminator, is designed to eliminate smells from cages, kennels, floors, tables, walls and other large areas. 3. Good de-shedder She commented: "It's amazing. I swipe it through my dogs once and a huge clump of hair comes out." The foster dog mum revealed that she tries to brush her dogs with this product every day. 4. Dental water additive The additive aids in reducing plaque and giving dogs fresher breath. It serves as an easy method to enhance dogs' oral hygiene. 5. Slow feeders "I absolutely love slow feeders." Slow feeders make it more challenging for dogs to get their food, providing enrichment. 6. Air purifiers Tracy disclosed that she has air purifiers in her bedroom and all the main areas of her house. Air purifiers clean and filter the air in a room by removing airborne particles, pollutants and allergens. 7. Snout Soother "This is for dry skin on dogs, on their nose, on their feet." The dog parent said she applies Snout Soother on areas of her dogs that are dry or red, and it "works really well." 8. Handheld vacuum She described it as a "lifesaver" as she uses it constantly. Handheld vacuums are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. 9. Mr. Sticky "You just clean it with water and roll it and obviously, I used mine recently and it's full." The Mr. Sticky rollers can be utilised to remove pet hair from surfaces, like walls and floors. 10. Patience It's crucial to exercise patience when training a dog and managing their behaviour. This not only builds trust but also fosters positive relationships between dogs and their owners.

Popular baby toy sold on Amazon is recalled over ‘serious risk of entrapment' – parents told ‘stop using it immediately'
Anyone who has bought the product needs to "contact the distributor" PARENT ALERT Popular baby toy sold on Amazon is recalled over 'serious risk of entrapment' – parents told 'stop using it immediately' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR baby toy has been urgently removed from Amazon over fears that it could present a chocking hazard or cause serious injury. The Office for Product Safety & Standards said parents should stop using the MiniDream Tummy Time Activity Pillow for Babies immediately. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The MiniDream Tummy Time Activity Pillow has been removed from Amazon Credit: Amazon 2 The rounded pillows are designed to support babies when lying on their front Credit: Amazon The rounded pillows, which resemble a travel pillow, are designed to support babies when lying on their front by providing support for their arms and shoulders. MiniDream's model comes with four detachable toys, including a soft plush bunny, a star-shaped silicone teether, a crescent moon and a mirror. The toys on the reversible pillow are attached via small fabric loops. However, the Office for Product Safety & Standards (OPSS) found that the loops were big enough for a child's finger to fit in - raising fears of serious finger injuries. More seriously, the product also comes in plastic packaging thicker than is legally allowed, meaning it could be a serious choking risk to a baby. The OPSS found that the product, which is made in China, presented a 'serious' risk of 'entrapment'. The OPSS' s report said: "The product presents a risk of entrapment, as the pillow, pillowcase and detachable moon toy include fabric loops sewn into the side of one of the seams. "The loops are large enough that a young child could easily insert their finger into them and twist, causing injuries. "Additionally, the plastic packaging bag has a thickness lower than the minimum permissible, presenting an asphyxiation hazard. "The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011." Watch the moment mum's £3 B&M's glass mug EXPLODES two days after she bought it - as she says it 'could've blown up in my face The product retailed for £21.99 but is no longer listed on Amazon's website following its recall. OPSS instructed those who have purchased the toy to stop using the product immediately, and to seek a refund from the point of purchase. Other recent product recalls While the laws around toys are stringent, products still make it to market that present a danger to children. The Nail Art Studio kit, by the brand Girls Creator, is a nail art set that includes nail varnish, a battery-operated nail dryer and a range of nail accessories. However, a warning was issued after a product safety report found a risk of suffocation for children. Another recent example was the Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, was blocked from entering the country at the border. The float was branded a safety risk after authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The report also raised concerns that the float's colours do not provide enough contrast with the water, making it harder to spot in an emergency.

Turn pink hydrangeas 'beautiful' blue with scrap kitchen item
Hydrangea flowers can range in colour from pink to blue, and one gardener has shared a simple trick to turn your pink hydrangeas blue - and it's all down to one kitchen scrap item Hydrangea varieties such as hydrangea macrophylla and hydrangea serrata offer a spectrum of colours, ranging from pink to blue, encompassing every shade of fuchsia, plum and periwinkle in between. Interestingly, the colour of these blooms can alter based on the quantity of aluminium absorbed by the plants from the soil, which is influenced by the soil's pH level. High concentrations of aluminium in acidic soil conditions result in the much sought-after bright blue to purple flowers. Conversely, lower levels of aluminium in the soil produce a variety of pink blooms. However, not all hydrangea species exhibit this colour-changing phenomenon. White hydrangeas remain unchanged, and some varieties are specifically bred for a particular colour scheme, reports the Express. The initial step involves testing your soil's pH level. Acidic soil (lower pH) will produce blue flowers, while alkaline soil (higher pH) will yield pink blooms. Soil test kits are readily available for purchase on Amazon for £12.99 or at B&Q for £6.99 to determine your soil's pH level. Once you've established your soil's general pH, you can adjust it accordingly to achieve either pink or blue hydrangea blooms. But what can be used to modify the colour of your hydrangeas? One gardener took to the Hydrangeas in the UK Facebook page to share her secret. She posted a photo of her "beautiful" hydrangeas adorned with vibrant blue blooms, attributing their colour to a common kitchen waste item. Shanta Patel posted: "This was a few years ago. Fed with coffee grounds." She revealed that the plant was initially pink when she purchased it from Ikea. When queried about the approach to utilising coffee grounds for plants, Shanta explained: "Add a layer [of used coffee grounds] on top every month and water it in." Shanta also disclosed the timeline for her pink hydrangeas' transformation into a blue hue, noting she observed changes "within the first year". Moreover, to sustain the soil's acidity, gardeners are advised to consider using orange peels, eggshells, or peat when viable. For those eager for swifter results, aluminium sulphate is a trusted aid in altering the colour of your pink hydrangeas to blue. The Trustleaf 1kg Tub Aluminium Sulphate, which is available on Amazon for £9.90, has been praised by customers who successfully turned their hydrangeas blue and maintained the shade. Another option for garden enthusiasts is acquiring the Hydrangea Colourant from Thompson & Morgan at the price of £5.99, which is equally effective in changing pink hydrangeas to blue.
