Sensible, Sustainable Lawn Care, Working With Nature
The Lawn Association team know that the best way of producing a happy, healthy lawn is by working with, not against, nature.
Sustainable and sensible lawn care can be apparent in something as simple as feeding the lawn. Many fertilisers require washing in order to activate, so waiting for the rain is due before applying makes sense. However, with organic feeds such as ‘True Grass’ which is produced from recycled food waste, ensures that your lawn is fed in the most sustainable way possible, without the risk of scorch!
Sensible, Sustainable Lawn Care, Working With Nature
You prune plants, so why not your lawn? When it comes to scarification that is exactly in effect what you are doing. Through this procedure, you are not trying to dominate nature, but instead, giving it a helping hand to work at its best by controlling the thatch which in turn will probably mean you never have moss.
And by regularly aerating (hollow coring) your lawn, you allow rainwater to run down into the soil and away from the surface, giving the moss spores less chance to germinate.
David Hedges Gower, Chairman of the Lawn Association states “A traditional lawn is simply natural grass maintained in an unnatural (but pleasing) way. That’s why good lawn care is all about working with nature, not against it. The fundamental reason why I will never stop urging people not to replace lawns with plastic, concrete or any other sub-strata is because we need living gardens as vital parts of the environment, maintaining biodiversity and keeping us all healthy.”
