Is lawn 'weed and feed' harmful to wildlife?
I am thinking of using the stuff but am hesitant as normally I use zero chemicals and just use chicken manure on the lawn. I don't want to harm the worms and the birds etc.

Chemical fertilisers arn't great for the environment. I believe they contain phosphates that polute water courses and emit greenhouse gases. A lot of polution is also caused by their manufacture. But I don't think it would directly harm the wildlife in your garden. Of course, if you choose to see your weeds as wildflowers rather than weeds, then that's even better!
