<p>During Winter months of low light and wet and windy weather, it’s not unusual for lawns to look worse for wear after battling the tough conditions of winter. As we welcome Spring and the return of brighter, balmier days, it is the perfect time to give your lawn some care and attention. Here are some top tips how to prepare your lawn for the season ahead.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Collect debris</strong></h2>
<smartfire-component name='spacer' attributes="{"height":50,"tabletHeight":30,"mobileHeight":30,"hasDivider":false}"></smartfire-component>
<div class="wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-53291 size-full" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/preparing-your-lawn-2_optimized-scaled.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p>The first step to reviving your lawn is to have a tidy up and collect the dead leaves that may have fallen from surrounding trees throughout the winter. Any debris left to sit on the lawn can prevent oxygen reaching the soil and impede proper drainage, affecting its growth.</p>
</div></div>
<smartfire-component name='spacer' attributes="{"height":50,"tabletHeight":30,"mobileHeight":30,"hasDivider":false}"></smartfire-component>
<p>Put any dead organic matter onto the compost pile to break down. By creating your own compost, it will create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material that will enrich your soil and plants all-round the garden.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Remove weeds</strong></h2>
<p>On older lawns, inspect the grass for weeds and remove any unwanted growth. Greater Plantain, Creeping Thistle, and Broad-leaved Dock are common weeds that many gardeners prefer to remove from their lawns.</p>
<p>Note: do not to throw your weeds in the compost bin, as they may germinate and cause serious issues for your beds and borders further down the line.</p>
<p></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Aerate grass</strong></h2>
<p>Next, aerate your lawn by using a large fork, creating small holes in the ground to help water, nutrients and oxygen to reach the root system, as this will encourage better growth and general good health, as well as prevent lawns from becoming waterlogged. Aerating is particularly important if soil is compacted, as this will prevent air circulation and water flow.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spread seed</strong></h2>
<p>Many lawns may have developed bald patches throughout winter due to the poor weather conditions and low light, so now is a great time to fill in any affected areas by applying grass seed. Simply spread potting soil by hand on the damaged lawn, brush with a soft plastic rake to distribute the soil, sow seeds to the affected area and tamp it down with a shovel, before watering lightly.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Feed your lawn</strong></h2>
<p>Just like any other plants in the garden, lawns benefit greatly from being fertilised throughout the year.</p>
<div class="wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p> A specialist organic lawn feed, like <a href="https://www.seezon.co.uk/result-search/?q=phostrogen+organic+lawn+food">Phostrogen® Organic Lawn Food</a> is the perfect solution to enrich the soil with the perfect balance of nutrients needed to grow a thicker, greener and more durable lawn</p>

<p>Spread the lawn food evenly and uniformly, either by hand or a suitable spreader such as a garden sprayer, and water thoroughly after application. Lawn food should be applied three times a year from March to October when the grass is actively growing, but lawns should be watered more regularly, particularly during the summer months.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dust off the mower</strong></h2>
<smartfire-component name='spacer' attributes="{"height":50,"tabletHeight":30,"mobileHeight":30,"hasDivider":false}"></smartfire-component>

<p>It’s a good idea to check your lawn mower in advance of the first mow of the season, to make sure that it is still in working order. Ensure the mower blades are sharpened to create a clean, uniform cut, as blunt blades can result in a jagged, uneven lawn.</p>
</div></div>
<p> </p>
<p>When the time comes for that first mow of spring, remember never to mow your lawn too short, and never cut more than a third of the height off the lawn!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Natural gardening makes it possible to produce crops that taste good and are good for your health. Preserving biodiversity, protecting, and nourishing the soil and plants without using chemicals are the basics of natural gardening. </p>
<p><strong>Everything you need to know about natural gardening</strong> </p>
<p>The gardener is part of a whole, he must learn to work with nature rather than trying to control it. By preserving or promoting biodiversity, the garden will regain a beautiful balance that will be conducive to abundant harvests, healthy, tasty and rich in nutrients, but also to obtaining a garden so full of flowers that it will be admired by all! </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="724" height="483" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1393" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36.jpeg 724w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Restore balance in your garden</strong> </p>
<p>In nature, plants grow without human intervention. The soil, rich in life and always supplied with organic matter, is able to receive plants that settle there spontaneously. This last notion is important because plants settle where the conditions are most suitable for them to grow. Some will be satisfied with a poor and dry soil while others will need a fresh and humid soil. They can grow, flower and even produce fruit naturally. </p>
<p>The gardener often makes considerable efforts for a lesser return. In trying to do too much, he sometimes makes mistakes that cause fundamental imbalances resulting in a loss of biodiversity, a disrupted balance between prey and predators and the disappearance of pollinating insects. Bad gardening practices such as turning over the soil, destroying ecosystems or tracking down the smallest insect with phytosanitary products often have catastrophic results on cultivated plants, which have a much harder time growing than those left to their own devices in nature. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="726" height="481" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1397" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38.jpeg 726w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38-300x199.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Make the best out of what already exists in your garden</strong> </p>
<p>Taking into account what exists in a garden is a fundamental notion for natural gardening. In each garden, there are positive and negative points that one must take advantage of or live with. Some parameters deserve to be particularly observed. </p>
<p>-The climate, the nature of the soil, the exposure are of course all important in the choice of plants that can be grown or not in this specific garden. For example, planting tropical plants or citrus fruits in an area where frost is common is a waste of time, energy and money. It is better to choose plants that are adapted to the soil because they do not need to be acclimated. Observe the plants that grow spontaneously, you will be able to deduce the nature of your soil and therefore choose plants that will grow better in your garden! </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1399" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>-Assessing the biodiversity is also very important. A large presence of birds, mammals or reptiles is a sign of a good balance. These predators will be able to deal with many pests naturally. Similarly, if pollinating insects are present in large numbers, they will ensure a good production of fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, if diseases and pests are present in large numbers, this is evidence of an imbalance that will need to be corrected by promoting biodiversity, among other things. Evidence of an imbalance can also result from abiotic stress (change of environment) or from invasive pests. </p>
<p><strong>Make gardening easier</strong> </p>
<p>Observing, favoring biodiversity, taking the soil into great consideration and creating zones that welcome natural flora and fauna will ensure the return of a good balance in the garden. From this will come an ease of cultivation and maintenance for the gardener, who will have less to worry about maintenance and treatments. Everything becomes easy, with the result of abundant and succulent harvests and a garden in full bloom! </p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why should you fertilise your soil?</h1>
<p>A well-nourished soil is more alive. Its nutrient storage capacity is improved with amendments and fertilisers (also called plant food). Plants have access to all the nutrients they need and develop perfectly. </p>
<p>Plants draw nutrients from the soil in varying quantities depending on the species. Some plants, such as melons or tomatoes, are very greedy and exhaust the soil, while others have very specific nutrient needs. It is therefore interesting to apply natural fertilisers at the right time and by targeting the type of crop to give back to the earth what we took from it by harvesting fruits, vegetables and other flowers. </p>
<p>Over time, overexploited soil loses its ability to store nutrients. It becomes poor and plants do not thrive. They need more and more inputs (fertilisers, among others). Preservation of the soil’s ecosystem using soil assistance is essential. </p>

<p><strong>Essential nutrients for a healthy plant</strong> </p>
<p>Three elements are essential for the good health of plants </p>
<ul>
<li>Nitrogen (N) which allows growth and is an essential element for leafy vegetables and plants grown for their foliage; </li>
<li>Phosphorus (P), which ensures root formation and better resistance to diseases; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Potassium (K), which is involved in the photosynthesis process, allows for more abundant flowering, production, and better resistance to cold. </li>
</ul>
<p>Other elements, sometimes a little forgotten, are also very important because their deficiency can cause pathologies. </p>
<ul>
<li>Calcium, which is involved in the cell formation process. </li>
<li>Copper, iron and magnesium which help in the formation of chlorophyll. An iron deficiency can cause a well-known disease: chlorosis, which causes leaf discoloration. </li>
<li>Boron which helps the growth of stems and the formation of seeds; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Zinc which allows the growth of plants and the synthesis of chlorophyll </li>
</ul>
<p>These nutrients will get from the soil to the plant thanks to the roots. Therefore, you can add natural phosphate or other root stimulating products to optimise the journey of nutrients from soil to plant. Fertiliser/plant food that is applied as a liquid is faster acting, ,but a a granule will slowly release and work for longer.</p>
<p>Overall, fertilising your soil allows your plants to be healthier, more resistant, grow better, and produce more! </p>

<p id="viewer-foo">Watering is a key, necessary aspect to ensure a flourishing garden: plants are comprised of approximately 80% water, and its only means of drawing up nutrients from the soil, which it does by absorbing nutrients in a water-based solution through its roots. A few rules need to be followed to ensure proper watering. Just like too little water, too much can have a negative effect on plant growth.</p>
<p>With this guide, we give you practical tips to help you make your garden a blooming oasis and use the precious resource of water efficiently. </p>
<p>Proper watering plays a crucial role in the development of plants. Whether it’s houseplants, ornamental garden or vegetables gardens – it’s worth taking a closer look at the topic of watering so that you can develop the right watering approach for your garden. </p>
<p><strong>WHY DO WE WATER AT ALL?</strong> </p>
<p>Everyone knows that our plants need water to survive. But why is that and how do the plants absorb the water? In this article, we’ll explain how the nutrients that are essential for survival get from the water into the plant and why photosynthesis simply doesn’t work without water. But one step at a time… </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="723" height="483" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-30.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1356" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-30.jpeg 723w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-30-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px" /></figure>
<p><strong>WATER UPTAKE HAPPENS THROUGH THE ROOTS</strong> </p>
<p>Our plants absorb most of the water that is so important for them from the soil. To do this, a plant uses its roots. Depending on the type of plant, the development of the root system and the plant’s own ability to absorb water from the environment also varies: </p>
<p>• If a plant has a deep and extensive root system, it has more potential to access the precious moisture from its surroundings. Many trees and shrubs have such an extensive root system and are therefore virtually independent of our irrigation. Only in the growing phase after being planted do these plants need our support in absorbing water. After a year, most trees and shrubs have grown so well that, under normal circumstances, no additional watering is necessary. </p>
<p>• On the other hand, if the roots are merely fine and short, water can only be drawn from the nearby environment for absorption. This is true for quite a few annual plants and/or perennials and certainly pot plants. If drought persists, additional watering is necessary. Plants that respond quickly to a lack of water by drooping their leaves, such as hydrangeas, petunias or sunflowers, can act as indicator plants to give you a better sense of when to water. Over time, this will help you develop a natural sense of the plants’ needs. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="724" height="483" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1358" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31.jpeg 724w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" /></figure>
<p>The so-called capillary effect plays an essential role in water absorption. Through the fine root system, the nutrients dissolved in the water are absorbed into the plant’s core. In this way, all the essential nutrients enter the plant for further use. Important plant nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S). Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo) and chlorine (Cl). </p>
<p><strong>FACTORS INFLUENCING IRRIGATION</strong> </p>
<p>We now know why plants need water and the ways in which it is provided. With this knowledge, we can now ensure to water our plants ourselves. However, the amount of water we should apply depends on various factors. </p>
<p>• Clearly, the plant itself determines how much water it needs. There are plants that are very frugal and require very little water – and there are also plants that require daily watering under certain conditions. For example, vegetables such as garlic, onions, shallots, asparagus and artichokes require little water, while squash, lettuce, tomatoes and cabbages require a lot of water. Consider this important plant characteristic in your planning and adapt it to the given location. </p>
<p>• The location of your plants will affect additional watering as well. Do your plants face north or south, are they exposed to wind and rain or are they sheltered? These are all important parameters that play a role in defining customized irrigation. In sunny and windy locations, plants evaporate much more water and thus need to be supplied with significantly more water. </p>
<p>• Different soil types differ in their ability to store water. Sandy soils, for example, can store significantly less water available to plants and have limited water-holding capacity. Clay soil, on the other hand, is very good at storing water in a way that is available to plants. A clay soil with a silty, clumpy texture that resembles coffee grounds is ideal. To maintain and improve the soil, you can regularly add some compost and turn it at the surface with a digging pitchfork from time to time. By interrupting the capillary action of the soil surface through tillage, the soil evaporates less water. A positive side effect is that weeds are thus prevented from growing and are undermined. Mulching is much easier and requires less effort. The soil is covered by a layer of mulch, which can consist of various materials, such as bark mulch, leaves or clippings, and at the same time is supplied with organic matter. This reduces evaporation from the soil and you can get by with much less watering all year! </p>
<p>• The more rain, the less we need to apply additional water. Therefore, a rain gauge makes sense in any garden to determine exactly how much water has entered the garden naturally. 1 mm of rain equals 1 liter of water per m². You will be surprised when you read the numbers on your meter: Heavy rainfall that lasts a few minutes often brings less water than a fine drizzle that lasts several hours. Rainwater is also better than tap water. It’s not as cold, it doesn’t contain chlorine, and it’s definitely less expensive – the ideal solution is to set up a rainwater collection tank. This reduces water consumption and is also easy on the wallet. </p>
<p>• Plants have different needs at different times of the year. Think in advance about the needs of plants at different times of the year and what watering measures should be taken. In autumn and winter, the weather conditions mean that less watering is needed than in spring and summer, when the amount of watering should be adapted to the climate. </p>
<p><strong>WATERING MISTAKES</strong> </p>
<p>The motto “a lot helps a lot” has become almost normal- but in addition to the right amount of water, there are other mistakes that are often made when watering plants. </p>
<p>• A common mistake gardeners make is watering at too high a frequency. In this case, plants do not develop their own root system to search deeper for water and become dependent on the surface water provided. The rule is: few intensive waterings that reach deeper soil layers are more useful than many small waterings that only irrigate the top soil layer. </p>
<p>• An incorrectly measured amount can, in the worst case, cause damage to our plants. If the plants are always offered too much water, the risk of waterlogging increases and the roots can rot. In addition, nutrients are unnecessarily flushed out. In addition to poor growth, this can even lead to the death of the plant. Check from time to time with a spade how deep the soil is moistened, in the vegetable garden or in the lawn this is easily possible. In addition, use a rain gauge – so you can easily determine whether you still need to water in addition to natural precipitation or not. Furthermore, there are moisture meters to measure the moisture in the soil and determine if and how much you should still water. </p>
<p>• When watering, especially in the summer months, make sure you do it at the right time. Watering in the early morning or evening is much more tolerable for your plants and for your wallet than in the blazing midday sun. That’s because water evaporates in bright sunlight before it can seep into the soil and be absorbed by the plants. </p>
<p>• Favour application with the good old watering can, drip systems at the base of the plant, or recessed irrigation systems for larger areas. Sprinkling or spraying plants uses more water and encourages disease, especially in tomatoes, potatoes and beans. </p>

<p>Mowing your lawn is an essential part of achieving a neat and healthy lawn. </p>
<p>Have you ever noticed the difference in appearance between two neighbouring lawns in the same street? In addition to the frequency of mowing, many parameters come into play in this art aimed at obtaining a beautiful green carpet. Here you will discover all the secrets that forge the gardener’s talent when it comes to lawn mowing! </p>
<p><strong>Why mow your lawn?</strong> </p>
<p>Mowing has several goals: </p>
<p>– get an nice aesthetic and regular style; </p>
<p>– strengthen the grasses, producing more vigorous leaves; </p>
<p>– ensure the development of the roots to obtain more density and a beautiful consistency of the lawn; </p>
<p>– facilitate movement if the lawn is made up of a mixture of grasses that tolerate being walked on, especially on walkways. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="715" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/Medium-Lawn-ThinkstockPhotos-516179412.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1389" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/Medium-Lawn-ThinkstockPhotos-516179412.jpg 1000w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/Medium-Lawn-ThinkstockPhotos-516179412-300x215.jpg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/Medium-Lawn-ThinkstockPhotos-516179412-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Which tool to choose?</strong> </p>
<p>Depending on the surface, the slope, but also the time the gardener can devote to his lawn, the choice will be made on various options: </p>
<p>Classic lawn mowers </p>
<p>It is important to choose a mower whose power and cutting width are adapted to the surface to be mowed. You should always consider these points before buying a lawnmower. The more power and the wider the cutting width, the faster the job will be done with less effort in large areas. </p>
<p>The electric mower is ideal for lawns of less than 250 m². It is odorless, light to handle, starts easily and makes little noise. The only drawback is the wire, which can be annoying, and the need to connect to an electrical outlet. However, if you choose a model with a battery, the problem is solved! In this case, you should have a second battery to extend the autonomy of the mower without interrupting the work too long. </p>
<p>Petrol mowers are used for areas of 250 m² or more. There are push models and self-propelled models. The latter could be a sit on mower which is ideal if you are not physically able to do all the walking or if the land is very large (over 500 m²). Petrol mowers are powerful and provide ease of movement, but they are noisy, heavy, smelly and require regular maintenance and engine overhauls. </p>
<p>The mulching mower shreds the grass into fine flakes and leaves it as a ground cover. The grass left in place protects the soil from heat and saves water. This has a great advantage of creating a natural contribution of organic matter to the soil that will nourish as it breaks down. However, this mower must be used more often than a conventional mower as the grass should not be too long when cutting.. </p>

<p>The robotic lawnmower has everything to please! The new models work in all conditions and are very discreet in terms of noise. Autonomous, the robot works alone according to predefined parameters, it returns to its base and does the work for you with the result of a constantly perfect lawn. </p>
<p>Traditional tools </p>
<p>The hand mower (helical) uses only the energy of the gardener. With this tool, it is necessary to mow at least once a week in season. It is ideal for gardens of less than 100 m². Inexpensive to buy, it does not require fossil energy, and does not produce odor or noise. </p>
<p>To mow the lawn in the traditional way, the scythe gives good results but requires learning the gesture and sharpening. Be careful, do not expect to obtain an absolutely perfect English lawn with this instrument which is to be reserved for the gardener able to accept a more natural style. </p>
<p><strong>When and at what height should I mow my lawn?</strong> </p>
<p>Lawns should be mowed from March to October. Mow in the late afternoon because the dew is still present in the morning and during the day there is too much sun, especially in the middle of summer. </p>
<p>When you should mow depends on your location and climate. For most, the first mowing takes place around March, then the grass will then be cut once a week until summer. The cutting height at this time is set between 2 and 5 cm depending on the desired result, the nature of the grasses and the use of the lawn. Always make the first cut on a higher setting to not overload the mower.</p>
<p>In summer, mow every 2 weeks is fine as the grass is growing less. Set the cutting height at approx 10 cm to protect the soil with a thicker cover – too short also means less moisture is held by the grass. The lawn will burn less, the soil will be shaded (and at the same time the roots of the grasses will be shaded) and water will be saved. </p>
<p>In autumn, reduce the cutting height and mow every 10 days. The last mowing should take place in October before the frost at a height of around 7 cm. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1310" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-24.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>What are the secrets to a well-mown lawn?</strong> </p>
<p>The blade used must be sharp to obtain a good result, if it is not then blades get scratched and ripped rather than cut. If this happens then the cut will be irregular and the grass blades will be weakened which can lead to turning yellow and be susceptible to diseases. </p>
<p>Mow in regular strips, first along the length of the lawn, overlapping the strips by 10 cm on the way back and so on. </p>
<p>Never mow more than 1/3 of the height of the grass to avoid weakening the grasses. </p>
<p>Use an edger or trimmer to keep edges neat and tidy if you like that style. </p>
<p>To sum up, as it is often the case in gardening, good and well-maintained tools will ensure an efficient work and a very satisfactory result if the gardener is regular. Properly sharpened blades and regular mowing at the right time and height according to the season are the secrets that will ensure a lawn admired by all! </p>

<p>Scarification and overseeding can repair a sparse lawn. </p>
<p>An episode of drought or on the contrary too much rain, too much shade or trampling from regular use… Lawns are sometimes badly treated and need a little facelift to give them back their beautiful appearance of a consistent and dense green carpet. Easy to implement, the technique of overseeding will help you. </p>
<p><strong>What are the causes of grass degradation?</strong> </p>
<p>Drought causes many problems: the lawn turns yellow, it has holes, the soil is compacted. </p>
<p>Intense shade or a pH that is too acidic leads to the development of mosses, these aggressive plants quickly take over the grass that makes up the lawn. </p>
<p>Activities such as sports, intensive walking on grassed paths or living areas, but also domestic or wild animals (wild boars, moles…) cause serious damage to the lawn. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="625" height="393" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1300" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-3.png 625w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-3-300x189.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></figure>
<p><strong>When should I repair my lawn?</strong> </p>
<p>Autumn is the best time to repair your lawn, as rainfall is frequent and the soil is still warm. Your lawn will then be just right in the spring. </p>
<p>In the spring, growth is rapid but you will have to make sure to water well if it does not rain. </p>
<p><strong>How to repair your lawn?</strong> </p>
<p>Bare spots, moss invasion, or too much wear and tear should be treated on a case-by-case basis in order to restore the grass. </p>
<p>Repairing small bald spots </p>
<p>If the lawn has holes or very sparse areas, loosen the soil by scratching the surface with a hook or a hoe. </p>
<p>Remove stones, roots and twigs and spread quality potting soil over the area. </p>
<p>Spread and sprinkle seeds, then tamp down with the back of the rake to push the seed to the soil. Ensure to work to the edges of the patch so that the lawn is consistent. </p>
<p>Water in a very fine stream then protect the area to avoid trampling by pets or children. </p>
<p>If you have the possibility of sowing coated seeds they have the advantage of containing fertilizer and mycorrhizae for optimal growth, but also to repel birds and ants. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="684" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22-1024x684.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1304" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22-768x513.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-22.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Fight against moss</strong> </p>
<p>Causes: </p>
<p>A lawn that is too shaded is often colonized by mosses because they are pioneer plants that will quickly become the predominant species if nothing is done to eliminate them. </p>
<p>When the soil pH is too acidic, moss also tends to develop in excess. A coating of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate will correct this. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="682" height="1024" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23-682x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1306" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23-682x1024.jpeg 682w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23-200x300.jpeg 200w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23-768x1154.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23-1022x1536.jpeg 1022w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-23.jpeg 1065w" sizes="(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px" /></figure>
<p>How to proceed? </p>
<p>Apply a selective anti-moss product for lawns. </p>
<p>Wait until the moss has blackened, then scarify or rake the area to remove all moss. </p>
<p>Cover the soil left bare by the moss removal and scarification with quality topsoil mixed with mature compost. </p>
<p>Overseed the lawn in criss-crossing passes and then roll to tamp and hold the seed in place. </p>
<p><strong>Repairing highly used areas</strong> </p>
<p>Causes: </p>
<p>Some areas may have been dug up by animals or pets. </p>
<p>Moles are most active in the spring and fall. They are very useful for the ecosystem of the garden, they aerate the soil making it permeable to water and air, they devour slugs, insect larvae (moths, beetles, wireworms…) and never feed on roots. To repair a lawn damaged by moles, do not fill in the molehills immediately, as this would cause new appearances. Wait a week and slip peeled garlic cloves or elderberry manure into the holes to scare them away. </p>
<p>On areas that are often trampled, the only solution is to sow a specific grass seed for sports or playgrounds, made up of grasses that tolerate trampling well. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="661" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21-1024x661.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1302" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21-1024x661.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21-300x194.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21-768x496.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21-1536x992.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-21.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>How to proceed? </p>
<p>Only weeds tend to grow well in the areas that are used. Apply a weed killer with a sprayer on the weeds and let the product work. Scarify the area and remove the waste. Level off with a rake before spreading horticultural potting soil where the weeds were. Apply seeds to the area, compact it with a roller and lightly water it. </p>
<p>Most gardeners are confronted one day or another with a damaged lawn, this situation is not exceptional! You just have to apply the right tactics and products to quickly give it back its beautiful aspect and find a green, consistent and dense carpet. </p>

<p>Grass is generally a main element in the garden. It often reflects the image of the gardener who cultivates it. Some make it a passion, a duty and even a philosophy… While others let it evolve with the seasons welcoming all kinds of weeds. </p>
<p>There are some tips for everyone, but lawn care always requires a certain amount of effort. </p>
<p><strong>1. MOW FREQUENTLY</strong> </p>
<p>The more often you mow your lawn, the more vigorous it will become when it grows back (like a beard). We recommend mowing once a week during the vegetation cycle. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="684" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19-1024x684.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1292" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19-768x513.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-19.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>2. FEED THE LAWN</strong> </p>
<p>In order to grow, grass consumes the nutrients in its soil. It is therefore important to add new nutrients from time to time. </p>
<p>To start, leave your old grass clippings in place. This is an excellent nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Coffee grounds are also a good nitrogen fertilizer. </p>
<p>Spread fertilizer in the spring and fall when the soil is wet. This will allow the soil to better absorb the benefits of the amendment. </p>
<p><strong>3. WATER REGULARLY</strong> </p>
<p>It is best to water in the late afternoon or even evening. The soil is looser and evaporation is much less important! </p>
<p>It is recommended to water abundantly once a week. But be mindful that excessive watering will encourage the appearance of moss. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1294" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-20.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>4. GET RID OF UNWELCOMED GUESTS</strong> </p>
<p>There are now traps and insecticides which can help with those who may want to ruin our lawns but nature is good and it can be interesting to use certain plants as a repellent. </p>
<p>There are many plants with repellent effects: citronella keeps mosquitoes away, rosemary keeps slugs away, lemon balm keeps ants away, marigolds keep quackgrass (or couch) away… You have to do tests in the garden to see what works for you.</p>
<p><strong>5. TAKE CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT</strong> </p>
<p>Mowers are an almost unavoidable investment. You might as well make sure you have quality equipment to keep it over time. </p>
<p>A poorly sharpened blade cuts unevenly and tears the grass. This causes the grass to turn yellow. Visit your mechanic to improve the condition. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="427" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-18-1024x427.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1290" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-18-1024x427.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-18-300x125.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-18-768x320.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-18.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>6. CONSIDER LEAVING PART OF THE LAWN TO GROW</strong></p>
<p>A wild garden can also be a great way to encourage natural beneficial insects into your garden that help with all other areas of nature. Leave the lawn, weeds and flowers to grow on their own.</p>
