The grass is now growing quickly, regular
mowing once or twice a week will will encourage a
denser, thicker grass. Remember to collect up the
clippings. If there is a lack of rain, consider watering.
. Continue to dethatch the lawn removing moss or any
dead material.
Lawncare:
- Weed and Feed
- Mow at the normal blade
cutting height once or twice a week
- New lawns should have their
first cut when the new seedlings are 2 to 3 inches
high with the blades set high.
- Apply a top dressing of
Lawn Sand
- Feed your lawn with a spring/summer
fertiliser that is high in nitrogen
- Apply weed killer two weeks
after you have fed the lawn - treating the whole
