Lawns

My total area of lawned garden is approx. 300sq/mts. I've not fertilized it for some years although kept the weeds and moss under control. Should I use a 9-7-7 such as 'Nutrigrow spring lawn fertilizer - 25kg' or a different mix on a clay soil.

Aw thank you for the feedback, Perki! Much appreciated. I shall be popping out to do just that in a tick. Thanks again for your advice.

I suppose a pair of scissors is out of the question. I could let you have one for nothing as I have a lot of them.

Forgot to add to this thread. The soil and composting was completed last weekend and all the grass seed added too…….just have to wait now

Thanks Tomcat

No I haven't used anything like that its quite expensive for what it is. I use pro strimmers or larger machines for such task but strimmer's are easy enough to get hold of 2nd hand pro stihl / husqvarna can be had for £150 - 200 if you look around. It does say the Hyundai is 2 stroke .How...

The very best time toapply lime is not now, but in early Autumn. Do take a pH reading first though to arrive at the correct quantity per square metre. Then take a second reading in Spring to recheck the pH. I use the one commnly known as Dolomite Flour.Even if I dont use fertiliser any more,...

Made the most of the warm weather today and gave it a new year cut.

Hi i know some do cut the grass but personally once October comes i never bother cutting the grass till march i make sure to weed and feed the grass but no cutting i have enough clearing the leaves up from a huge oak tree at the back of my garden and other trees next door without...

some weeds are difficult to eradicate even with herbicide, a few need multiple applications. I'd use a hand sprayer for spot spraying instead of doing the whole lawn again. or use a brush and use glyphosate.

Looks ok to me. Just keep the needles swept up and the grass mown. Next spring treat with a lawn specific weedkiller such as verdone and all should be well

Thank you

NutriFlo Casting 10LI can’t comment on its performance as I’ve not tried it but on small lawns I like you tend to brush them. Iron does deter but it’s short lived and you can’t keep repeating it.

I think it’s best to look at local or trade suppliers in Germany as I don’t know the products there. Most products will have the area covered and may include other info like amount per set volume. With spraying it’s working out the area, volume of water, spray width, discharge rate and speed of...

Shocking, its not even on catch up

Thank you for the help.

That website will be for domestic sales only. For professional usage they will be using bespoke products, which the groundsman will need to have had the soil analysed first. What you use will not be the same product that the professional will use. I know who they are, but by their company name,...

Thats a wetland meadow, not grass lol

A further question about my lawn project please. Could anyone tell me what weight and size turf comes in and is it straightforward to lay it? Thanks.

I am not an expert on lawns by any means and have what I describe as short meadow here. I could not in all honesty say our grass is a lawn being predominately clover and moss but the bees love the clover and it is green! From far away it looks not too bad, in reality! Growing the perfect lawn...
