LAWN CARE CALENDAR

To be used as a guide only.

January

There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.

February

Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.

March

The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally suffi- cient this month.

April

Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.

May

Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selec- tive weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not feed the lawn in April.

June

Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control. Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.

July

Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a gen- eral rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.
