Lawn mowing
By Joe | January 13, 2012
On Alfresia, we’ve recently extended our range of Lawnmowers. This means that keeping your lawn looking good has never been easier. Of course, a good mowing is central to keeping your lawn looking pristine, however there are a few other tips you can look at.
The secret of a good lawn is to mow little and often; your objective is to cut only the top of the grass each time you mow it. Overall, this will make mowing much easier and helps to keep the grass green and healthy.
You can mown the lawn anytime that it is actively growing. You will find that it will grow mainly from early spring until late autumn. To garner the best results only use your lawnmower when the grass is dry and remove any foreign objects from the lawn that may cause damage to the mower. If you want stripes on your lawn choose a mower with a rear roller.
Another procedure that will help protect the lawn is to feed it with a good lawn fertiliser. This has two effects: not only does it make the grass greener, but it makes it grow thicker and increases its strength, vigour and health so it is more robust and better equipped to compete with weeds, moss and weather-related stresses. In spring, the best results are achieved by using a granular feed that supplies a regular amount of nutrients over several weeks.
