Laying a new lawn

It’s now possible to reseed the lawn. It’s also a good time to repair patches in the lawn. Treat the areas with Organic CleanLawn at the same time as sowing. This gives the lawn the right start.

What to do with grass clippings?

Regular mowing is now the main task in looking after the lawn. Leave the grass clippings to wither and then put them around trees for mulching. Or compost them in a thermal compost bin. They should be slightly wilted for this too. Mix two parts of grass clippings with one part of dry shredded woody material from trees, bark mulch, dry leaves or wood shavings from untreated wood. Ideally, mix in a compost accelerator and after about 12 weeks you will have top quality compost mulch.
