Want a better lawn this spring? Start with these 3 winter lawn care tips ✅
1️⃣ Stay on Top of Winter Weeds 🌱
Winter is prime time for broadleaf weeds like clover and creeping oxalis to establish in your lawn. Treating weeds early prevents them from spreading and competing with your turf for nutrients, water and sunlight.
2️⃣ Feed Your Lawn Before Growth Slows ❤️
On the Mid North Coast, now is your last chance to fertilise before the cooler weather sets in. Giving your lawn a feed now can help maintain colour, strengthen roots and improve resilience through winter. A fertiliser such as Oxafert can also help control common winter weeds while providing essential nutrients.
3️⃣ Mow Smart, Not Short ✂️
Your lawn grows more slowly during winter, so avoid cutting it too short and consider raising your mowing height slightly. Leaving a little extra leaf helps the grass maximise sunlight absorption, continue to photosynthesise, retain moisture, reduce stress and better withstand colder conditions, while also improving its resistance to weeds.
We hope these tips were helpful and that your lawn will stay healthy and strong this winter 💪🏼
