SPRING LAWN CARE------------

If the weather is mild the grass will soon be on the way, so it is best now to check over your lawn mower for defects before you begin. Check for blade wear, oil bearings and on electric mowers check the cables for damage. Remember when working on your mower, always remove the spark plug lead on petrol (gas) mowers and always unplug electric mowers and other garden tools. Read makers instuctions and advice guide.

If taking an early cut on your lawn it is best to use a rotary mower, set the blades fairly high to avoid pulling the grass out by the roots. This type of damage is more prone to happen with a cylinder mower.

SUMMER LAWN CARE-------------

At this time of year lawns take heavy punishment, and a little time spent on maintenance will pay big dividends. If there is any moss in the lawn this can be removed with a lawn rake, also pull out any perennial weeds. Then apply any of the proprietary brands of lawn fertiliser; carefully follow the directions on the box with regard to application. This will then give you a lawn to be proud of right into the autumn.

AUTUMN LAWN CARE------------

Should your lawn be in a sad state of repair, now is the time to repair with turf, at this time of year when turf is laid it stays moist and the grass roots can grow into the underlying soil. Turf can be laid at any time of year, but in summer the turf can dry out and then the grass dies off in patches, as often seen on new housing estates.
When laying turf always prepare your ground in advance, then when the turf arrives it can be laid immediately. Laying turf is not the easiest of jobs and if a large job is contemplated employing a professional should not be ruled out. If you do wish to do it yourself, there are many exellent publications available, dealing with the subject in greater depth.

It pays to feed your lawn in Autumn with a high potash, high phosphate, low nitrogen fertiliser. This mixture promotes root growth in lawns, but without leaf growth, due to the low nitrogen content.
