Mowing and watering tips

Mowing the lawn is very important to ensuring it’s health. It may sound very simple, and it is, but there are some rules you should follow: keep the lawn about 3” high, leave clippings in place (grasscycling), and make sure mower blades are always sharp. Also, do not forget to water often when rain just isn’t enough. Less frequent deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering.

Overseeding

Overseeding fills in the gaps in your lawn to make it thicker and leave less opportunity for weeds to take hold. Adding quality grass seed to your topsoil or compost when you topdress will kill two birds with one stone. Be sure to keep the soil moist for two weeks to optimize the germination of your seeds. You can find quality weed-free grass seed that is suitable for your light conditions at your favorite garden centre.
