Spring Lawncare Part One

In my opinion lawns are a very important part of a garden and in most cases I think a garden is all the better for having a lawn, even if it is only small. I look upon the lawn as the equivalent of a carpet in your living room. It's often the first thing people notice and if it looks messy it will detract from the rest of the room, or the garden in this case.
Maintaining a lawn to a reasonable standard is not that difficult and won't take up too much of your time. A little extra effort a couple of times a year will make a great difference to the appearance and health of your lawn. I always look at mowing and other work on the lawn as a good way of getting some exercise.
Now that we are in April the grass will start to grow faster and to get the lawn in good condition for the summer we can do a few extra jobs over the next few weeks. Next week I'll be feeding the lawn, looking at weed control and seeding bare patches.
