How to get a greener and stronger lawn this season
Here are a few key elements to keep in mind for a lush, disease-resistant lawn:
Mowing tips
For the last cut of the year, lower your mower’s sharp blades to 5 cm instead of the usual 8 cm. At this time of the year, the grass is not growing anymore and mowing it shorter will prevent the development of fungal diseases during the winter by allowing the lawn to breathe better.
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.
