A healthy lawn certainly adds to a beautiful garden. Optimal fertilisation and the right care measures using GARDENA tools will help you achieve one – regardless whether your lawn is new or already grown. Lawn mowing is the number one task but if you want to find that professional finish it should be followed by edging and trimming. However there’s more to lawn care than just cutting the grass if you want that perfect look. Proper aerating and fertilisation should be done as routine. Then of course watering in dry periods and cultivating are an important part of the planning.
Take a little time on the lawn
Good lawn care starts with mowing but there are other things to consider, for example scarifying and aerating. Spring or autumn is the time to scarify your lawn to remove unwanted organic debris in your grass such as moss or thatch. Left in place it stops air, water and fertiliser from reaching your grass roots - promoting disease and causing ugly patches of growth.
Prepare yourself with GARDENA tools and create the basis for the perfect lawn right through the year. For a healthy lawn, matted grass and moss should be removed with a Lawn Aerator once or twice per year. Help to avoid the formation of moss with a Lawn Rake as well as remove leaves.
Feed your lawn with the right nutrients
A thick, lush lawn is beautiful to look at, perfect for a cosy picnic and also robust enough for playing children. But even the best lawn suffers from long, cold and wet winter months or dry summers.
This is why well-directed lawn fertilisation nourishes your lawn and guarantees dense and healthy turf. After all, a vital and dense lawn is the best prevention for undesirable symptoms, such as moss pads or fungal diseases. With one of the GARDENA Spreaders you can take care of this important lawn care programme. You can also use spreaders for seeding lawn or for dispersing winter grit like salt or sand.
