Frequently asked gardening related questions
UK lawns may suffer from pests like leatherjackets (cranefly larvae), chafer grubs, and ants. Signs include thinning grass, birds pecking at the lawn, and discoloured patches.
You can apply biological controls, such as nematodes, during the appropriate seasons (late summer for chafer grubs and early autumn for leatherjackets). Chemical options are limited in the UK due to regulations, so cultural control - like aeration and proper feeding - is essential for resilience.
Keep the lawn healthy to reduce the chance of pest damage taking hold.
