• I hope you all have had a very merry Christmas and happy new
year. After a very mild and wet run up to Christmas, the frosty mornings are
now back. Whilst it’s a pain scraping it off the car, the benefits mean that it
will check any grass growth and also help control any soil based grubs or bugs.
•
Those with fine lawns should wait until the frost has lifted before going on,
as you can bruise the grass, leaving unsightly black footprints which can turn
brown as the grass leaf dies.
•
Leaf and debris collection should continue when conditions allow. If leaf
litter is left, it will stop the light from getting to the grass underneath
and, as the nights have drawn in, the grass will need all the light it can get.
•
Please don’t forget about arranging to have your mower serviced. At the very
least, wash it down and grease or oil the working parts; if it’s a petrol
mower, please remove any remaining petrol, as this can go stale and won’t allow
the mower to start later in the year when you come to use it. Organising the
machine to be serviced by a reputable mechanic is far preferable.
