I'm thinking a spray gun with a feeder thingy attached to it. Do they work?
Miracle Grow do a spray gun and soluble feeds (what we use).
Available in DIY sheds and garden centres (if they're open).
NB I find the spray is a bit diluted so I shake it about as I use it to get a more concentrated dose on the plants as I can't be arsed to wait for it to use it all up at the built in dosage rate.
Cap full in a watering can applied around the roots?
Or get the solid granules you scatter around the plants.
Or just mulch with lots of compost and let the worms do their job.
It’s cheaper to do something to upset a vegan neighbour and wait for them to hammer frozen veggie sausages into your lawn.
A chap my father used to work with was fire safety consultant for bae systems, and he put blood protein on his lawn then agitated it in with the hose.
Said its the mix they use for foam fire systems but the blood protein also could be used to feed the grass, and his lawn was pretty damn spectacular.

Guessing it's the iron that does it, Iron sulphate is what's used to treat moss and it also makes the grass REALLY green.
It's also really cheap if you buy iron sulfate rather than moss killer.
You can get the Miracle Grow slow release pellets from B&M, my g/f brought home a jar earlier in the week, which saves me having to mix some up and go out a use a watering can.
It’s not that important for a lot of the garden, but my little apple tree has been showing some issues, leaves turning yellow and falling off, particularly small new leaves. A search a while back seemed to indicate it was some sort of blight that the EU had banned treatments for, but when I searched again a couple of weeks ago, it seems it’s more likely a deficiency of iron, manganese and some other trace elements in my very stony limestone soil.
I started using Miracle Grow and the yellow leaves seem to have stopped, so the slow release stuff should help keep it healthy in future.
