Ten Top Tips For a Greener Lawn
- You need a plan of action and stick to it. Create a lawn calendar to help.
- Make a record of how your lawn reacts at different times of the year and plan accordingly.
- Spring renovation. Scarify and Aerate your lawn.
- Make sure you supplement your hard work with a sensible weed and feed and remember to water.
- Assess your mowing technique. Don’t always mow the same way. Try alternating your stripes and make sure your blades are sharp.
- When applying a moss control its good to do this in conjunction with scarifying both before and perhaps more importantly after so as to get all the spores.
- Watch the weather. Wet, warm conditions will mean fungus will thrive. Drought conditions mean the grass will suffer.
- Water the grass early in the day rather than late afternoon.
- Aerate your lawn as often as you can especially in the Spring and Autumn. Use a shallow solid tine in the Summer months to help reduce lawns becoming hydrophobic.
- Think about Wetting Agents in the Spring and Autumn months.
