Lawn Care Advice
Caring
for your new lawn is simple if you follow
these basic guidelines which are recommended
by CELTIC TURF.
Roll
your lawn in the spring to firm and level
the ground following the winter frosts.
If necessary aeriate compact or damp areas
with a fork.
Mowing
Mow
your lawn regularly and avoid cutting too
low. Never cut more than 30% of the grass
leaf area off in one mow. During the peak
growing months of May - September it may
be necessary to mow your lawn 2 - 3 times
a week.
Feeding
Feed
your lawn with small doses of a Nitrogen
(N) rich fertiliser every 4 - 6 weeks through
the growing season (or as directed on the
product). This will ensure a lush appearance
and reduce the risk of disease. Use a more
balanced fertiliser (N, P, K) in the Autumn
to help maintain a healthy lawn through
the Winter months.
Weeds
Even
the best cared lawn will suffer from occasional
weed growth caused by airborne seeds, bird
droppings etc A healthy lawn will protect
itself from weed invasion as weeds need
bare earth patches and areas or sparse turf
in which to grow. Regular feeding and mowing
will help keep your lawn dense and healthy
and prevent weed invasion.
Fungus
Toadstools
and fairy rings - These are on the
whole unobjectionable and occur in good
soil that is high in organic matter. Simply
brush away.
Fusarium - A
common fungal disease often seen after prolonged
periods of laying snow. Shown as areas of
yellowing and then brown grass. Use a fungicide
chemical spray.
Red Thread - Red
and bleached areas of grass. Feed regularly
to allow the grass to grow through the disease
or apply a fungicide chemical spray.
