Care of Lawn in Autumn
Hi
I have had part of my lawn turfed this year, the rest of the lawn is existing grass. I moved into the house last April, so only had the money to get half of the lawn redone. I'd really like to maintain the grass (both new and existing) to avoid moss/weeds getting a grip over Winter. I've been feeding the grass and used Evergreen to kill the moss earlier in the year however there are still quite a lot of weeds in it, I daresay they'll diminish in time. I wondered if there's something I can do to limit the moss etc during autumn/winter. Thanks from a keen beginner!!! |

Moss thrives on lawns (like mine) which retain water after it rains. Bevan |

I am new to lawn care but i am learning and have some experience. I would
scarify the lawn (e.g. rake it) airate it, to airrate it can use a garden folk, if your lawn is large then this will take a long time. You may find it easier to pull the weeds out as well as using weed killer, lawn sand is good but don't put to much on as it burns your lawn, cutting twice a week is also good, i cut mine twice a week, one cut takes 10-20 minutes as i just rush around, e.g. i don't strim and dont be to fussy about getting right up to the edges, the second cut i spend more time. don't do things like scarify it then weed and feed as i the lawn needs to recover a little before it can take weed killer, the general rule is little and often.
