Lawn Care Guide for Winter in Australia
It's time to give your lawn some extra care to ensure it stays healthy and green throughout the colder months.
In Australia, our lawns have different needs when the temperature drops, and here are a few tips to keep your lawn looking its best this winter:
Fertilise: Give your lawn a boost before the winter hits. Use a slow-release fertiliser with higher potassium levels to strengthen the roots and help your lawn fend off diseases. A healthy lawn starts from the roots up! If you're in a warm winter location, fertilise as needed.
Aerate: Improve soil drainage and promote new root growth by spiking or aerating your lawn with a garden fork. Allow water and nutrients to penetrate the roots more effectively and keep your lawn happy and healthy.
Mow It Right: Adjust your mower height so that you're not cutting your grass too short. Longer grass provides better insulation and protection against winter cold snaps. Plus, it gives your lawn a neat, manicured look!
Weed Control: Take care of pesky winter weeds like Wintergrass. Keep an eye out for any unwanted intruders and remove them promptly. Weeds can compete for nutrients and space, taking away from your lawn's health and appearance. See our Echelon Duo Herbicide and Fertiliser.
Minimize Foot Traffic: During wet and frosty winter days, try to avoid excessive foot traffic on your lawn. Walking on a frosty lawn can lead to damage and negatively impact its overall health. Give your lawn some extra love and respect during the winter months!
Remember, a little extra care and attention in winter can go a long way in maintaining a beautiful lawn that will bounce back come springtime!
