Lawn Update

The lawn has now almost fully recovered after its recent raking and is growing well. At the end of this month, we should stop feeding high nitrogen summer feed, ready to begin the autumn programme. We shall then be using 'Phostrogen All-Purpose Plant Food' (14-10-27) - or an autumn lawn feed - since it is high in potassium which will harden the grass against further disease, and also against frost.

It is important not to go into winter with too much lush green growth (caused by high nitrogen feeds), yet we should feed enough to allow the grass to build up a food reserve for the winter.

Autumn treatment will begin next month.
