Time to get that mower out! We have had a decent run of weather in the last few days, lots of sunshine and a few showers. A light mow during a dry spell in the next few days will be all that is needed. Remember - keep that mower blade sharp! Set your mow height to about 10mm below the current tips of the sword. Mow it in the next few days if you can. If your lawn has grown a lot over the last few weeks due to it being south facing it would be worth trying to mow it again in another 3 to 5 days time.
We will be back with more advice soon, as its time to start thinking about how we will prepare your lawn for summer over the next 6 to 8 weeks.
===========================================
Welcome to 2011!!!
14th January 2011
As with last December its been very cold again!
Looking forward to the next couple of weeks, we are expecting to see fairly unsettled weather over the next month with some hard frosts at the end of the month. We may even see more snow on high ground.
As such, there is not a lot to do this month, make sure that mower is in good condition and get the blade sharpened in the next few weeks. This will reduce the risk of infection when you do start to mow in March.
If you have a petrol mower we would advise that you start it up at your next opportunity and make sure it is all running as it should be. (As always consult a professional if necessary).
Make sure your lawn is clear of any debris by using a spring rake and enjoy your last few weeks of relaxation before the hard work starts!
