When and if to feed lawns given a uk wide lockdown

Posted by Anthony Toop on March 18, 2020 at 8:55am

I was sorting out some lawn fert this morning, but then it dawned on me that its quite possible in the next month or so, we may be faced with atleast a partial lock down of unnecessary movement, garden being non essential.

If we chuck a load of fert on lawns and then can't get to them for weeks on end, it could get messy, literally and metaphorically!

Im thinking to just use an autumn/winter product for now, and possibly at a reduced dose?

     I'm pretty annoyed because local franchise lawn care company has bombed it around treating all the lawns way before due. 

     This has now left me this week alone x10 gardens down. They didn't even warn the customers just turned up!

      i have had that before 

      i had them following me up the street and applying just after i had cut ihe grass

      at the moment i would just put ion or seaweed on till things get a bit more stable

    I really wouldn't worry about something that will probably never happen............ I'm more concerned with the football and whether Watford will get relegated :)

      Never thought I'd see Watford, Football & Relegation mentioned on an LJN thread -Some things just don't go together😂😂😂

      Got to feel sorry for those Liverpool fans 😘
