Lawn Care Tips.

In these uncertain times, many of us will be spending time in the garden. I have written a few tips that will help you to keep on top of your lawn.

 April.
Mowing between the showers.

• Switch or brush to remove dew and prevent disease.
• Mow regularly, keeping the height of the cut at 6mm if possible. Use a grass comb on the mower.
• Continue to aerate using needle tines or with a Sarel spiker.
• Check soil temperatures(above 10ºC) Once the soil has warmed up sufficiently you can carry out small area renovation.
• April and May is a good time to sow grass seed. Prepare the area by spiking, then apply a mixture of Seed and Turf Top Dressing, finally rubbing over with a Lute to maintain levels.
• Apply a liquid feed between granular fertiliser applications. Feeds containing Seaweed are useful.
• Check for disease and apply a fungicide if necessary.
• Consider biological methods of controlling disease.
