It has finally stopped raining for us gardeners!
So we have managed to get the first grass cut of the year for our gardens today!
TIPS:
Set your mower on a high setting (3 or 4) and a slower speed
Don't pick up the cuttings as these are great left to let the nutrients go back into your lawn
Give it a bit of an Aerate with a garden fork if you dont have an aerator. This will help with air and drainage and encourage the grass to grow
If you need help to keep on top of your lawn this year we would recommend you book your gardening slot NOW! We have a few slots for mowing throughout the summer season if anyone local to earls colne needs help.
Another job is to dig up and split snowdrops while they are still green as so much easier to see them! Although they dont mind being moved around any time of the year as they are tough little bulbs!
Happy gardening!
