Weed And Feed Lawns: How To Apply Lawn Treatments

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

It is spring and time for the first cut of the lawn. I do the same every year I look out of my window and think “oh gawd, here we go again”. It is time to start cutting and caring for the lawn which includes the continual battle with the irritating weeds which appear from nowhere. You would think I would have learnt by now, but at the end of the season I still kid myself and tell myself that I have won. I have a perfect lawn with stripes, no bald patches or weeds but next spring it is the same old story. The lawn moss is back with the dandelions, daisies and the whole process of lawn treatment including feeding and generally getting rid of lawn problems.

I have decided to start my own blog (www.weedandfeedlawns.com) so that I can remind myself of what maintenance needs to be done on the lawn each season. I have added information about lawn fungus, lawn moss, types of lawn grass seed and how to replant bald areas of grass which I seem to have this year. I have also put instructions for my husband on what height he should set his blades on his lawn mower as I know he is guilty of setting them too low.

There are a lot of products for sale which will weed and feed your lawn chemically. These help you achieve a great lush looking lawn and can be bought from garden centres, supermarkets, DIY shops and on line. Once you start to win with your lawn you will find that you don’t need to purchase these products so often. You will however, need to keep an eye on the ph balance and the minerals so that your lawn continues to look at its best.

Different lawn treatments depend on where you live, your soil type and local conditions that will affect your particular grass seed planting. You may have to adapt the seed if you have a shaded area, over seeding with a more robust type of seed which includes a bigger percentage of slow growing grasses like Fescue grass.

Grass needs to have deep roots to survive and if you weed and feed your lawn it will give it a chance to flourish so that even during hot summers you will be the envy of the neighbourhood with your lush green and rich looking lawn.
