π Get Your Lawn Autumn Ready! π


As the days get cooler and we wave goodbye to summer, it’s easy to think about packing away the lawnmower. But hold on! September is prime time to give your lawn the TLC it needs to bounce back bright and lush next spring. π±

Here’s your golden rule for autumn mowing – raise those mower blades! Keeping your grass a bit longer helps it stay healthier as the weather changes. Cutting it too short can stress your lawn and invite weeds and disease you’d rather skip. πΎ
Continue with mowing while the grass is still growing, which could be until late October or even November, depending on the weather. Donβt forget, avoid mowing in wet or frosty conditions. π«βοΈ
Here are a few more fab tips to keep your lawn looking lush:
1. **Nourish and Strengthen**: Give tired grass a boost with a specialist autumn feed to encourage strong roots. This will prepare your lawn for winter’s chill. π
2. **Spruce Up and Treat**: Smooth out uneven areas by brushing top-dressing over your lawn. Rake those fallen leaves to prevent rot, and scarify to keep moss at bay. It might look patchy now, but it’ll pay off in the spring! π
3. **Improve Drainage**: Boost drainage and air circulation by aerating your lawn with a garden fork. This helps roots stay strong and resilient, ready to handle waterlogging come winter. π§οΈ
So, are you ready to roll up your sleeves and give your grass some love? Your springtime self will thank you for the effort now! πͺβ¨
