LAWN CARE IN APRIL
Mowing
Frequency: Mow at least once a week
now; make sure mower has been serviced and blade replaced or
sharpened.
When: It’s best done on a dry day. If your patio is dry, the
chances are your lawn will be dry enough to mow (it’s a sign
that the air is drying the lawn).
Height: No shorter than 1 “ (2.5 cm). Make sure blade is sharp.
Fertiliser – Organic
This is the time to feed the lawn after most nutrients will have
been washed through during the wet winter months..
Weed Control
Once the weeds and grass are actively growing a selective herbi-
cide to kill broad-leaved weeds such as dandelions, daisies and
clover within the grass can be applied.
Actions required in April
