July

The grass is now growing quickly, regular mowing once or twice a week will will encourage a denser, thicker grass. If the weather is dry and the grass is dry mow less often and leave off the grass box, if your mower is a "self mulcher" now is the time when it will come into its own. Brushcutters will be useful for tidying up the edges and cutting around trees and along walls. If there is a lack of rain, you may need to consider watering.

Lawncare:

• Continue mowing regularly. If the weather is very dry, mow less often and leave off the grass box.
• If your mower has a "mulching" attachment the best time to use it is when the grass is fairly short and dry.
• Water the grass if it needs it.
• For isolated deep-rooted weeds, spot treat with weed killer
• If you haven't fertilised for six weeks consider another application - lawns will thrive on a good balanced diet

>> Fertilising with a high nitrogen fertiliser can still be carried out at six week intervals throughout the Spring and early Summer
