My Climate Change Garden

Warmer temperatures at this time of year will encourage grass growth so you may still need to mow your lawn but not as often.

Be flexible about when you mow the  lawn as if it is very dry, the grass will need to be interfered with. Heavy rainfall often comes all at once now which can mean the grass puts on a sudden growth spurt  – watch for this and only cut it once the grass is dry.

This is a good month to aerate the lawn by using a garden fork and scarify it with a rake. If you must use fertiliser make sure it is organic and will not harm the envitonement.
