November Update

Its what we walk on most days and if you own a dog it’s what they can frustratingly destroy in a matter of minutes – it’s what the French call Pelouse, but it’s also something mainly left to survive on it’s own. Yes I’m talking about your lawn and spring is the time to show it some love and attention .

Fertilising  is an essential part of lawn maintenance – encouraging growth and healthy grass all year long. Recommended timing for this is autumn to protect your lawn throughout winter and also now [spring] to help boost growth and carry your lawn through the summer months.

To get really tech firstly neutralise acidic soil by taking a simple ph test and if needed add lime to neutralise and improve soil condition. Then choose a general all purpose lawn fertiliser if your lawn is well established, any garden centre or DIY supplier will see you right in this area .

A handy tip, if you have a medium to large lawn hire or buy a fertiliser spreader to evenly distribute your fertiliser (for dry fertiliser only, liquid fertiliser you need a sprayer).

Grass as a rule is a hardy beast but showing it a bit of love and care once or twice a year is but a small sacrifice and remember all lawn clippings can go into one of our GREENIE GARDEN BINS .

Happy lawn care – go on take the shoes of and walk on that lawn of yours
