- Plan a simple program of work. He who fails to plan, plans to fail…even on lawns.
- Learn and note what works for your lawn. A record of whatever works is invaluable.
- Begin Spring with a lawn renovation. This helps your lawn to flourish the rest of the year.
- Your lawn is a living entity. It needs, food, water and air, just like you do.
- You can always improve your mowing technique. We all mow, but less than 5% do it properly.
- When tackling lawn moss, attack the spores not the plants. Always spray for moss following lawn.
- Scarify lawns to improve grass growth, and then you won’t have such a problem with moss.
- Modern weather patterns are having new impacts on lawns. Learn how this happens and remain observant to avoid nasty surprises.
- Aerate, aerate, aerate…and when you’ve finished, start planning the next one.
- Be practical. For a happy lawn, know why you’re doing it before you do it.
