Being slow release it is probably OK if not watered in but I would do so as it is possible that it may burn your lawn. I never fert the lawn unless it is going to rain.

Yes all fert should be watered to disperse the contents throughout the ground into the root system for maximum benefit.Just sitting on the surface is just wasted.And if it is new seed i presume it is a phosphate base to give it an instant boost,and when established use a slow release to keep it well fed for longer periods.

If ya really wanna make a lawn grow thick and healthy, use blood & bone then sprinklers on. This is assuming that you have a good ride-on.

Thanks for the replies.
Lawns not big enough for a ride-on. I use this with great results
Well put b&b on, water it in and don't mow until it's all disappeared (else you'll just be hoovering it back up!). You'll be staggered at the growth and quality improvement in terms of the lawn thickening up and the moss disappearing.

Thanks for that. How soon can I do it after applying the fertiliser?

You can apply it at the same time. The key issue is to water it in asap. OK to mow as soom as the B&B/fert has all been soaked into the soil.
