The Lawn Care Guide – May

There is
still time to weed and feed the lawn if you need to clear weeds. Otherwise
apply a feed or slow release fertiliser to provide nutrients over a longer
period, applied early in the month. 

Stick to the manufacturer’s instructions,
don’t be tempted to add extra or you can cause scorching. It’s worth investing
in a
spreader to ensure the right quantity is applied. Remember if you
use granular or powdered lawn feed and it hasn’t rained after you apply it you
need to water in to avoid scorching.

Follow instruction as well regarding
mowing – you may need a few days before the grass can be cut. Remove worm casts
before mowing. Reduce the height of the blades progressively with each cut. The
grass will be growing vigorously and will need more frequent cuts. Keep the
edges trimmed with a
powered trimmer or edger or lawn edging
shears.
