Frequently asked gardening related questions
A lush, healthy lawn requires consistent care throughout the year. Key practices include: Regular mowing, adjusting the blade height according to the season (higher in summer to conserve moisture). Feeding your lawn in spring and autumn with a suitable lawn fertiliser to provide essential nutrients for strong growth and colour. Weed control is ongoing; hand-weed larger weeds or use selective lawn weedkillers. Scarifying (removing thatch and moss) in autumn or spring improves air circulation and water penetration. Aerating (spiking the lawn) helps relieve compaction and aids drainage. Overseeding thin patches in autumn or spring encourages a denser sward. During dry spells, deep watering is necessary to prevent browning. Finally, ensure your mower blades are sharp to avoid tearing the grass blades, which can lead to disease.
