Winter Lawn Tips @peninsula_mg Around most of lawns hibernate through Winter, with maintenance demands very low. feeding-across-season-winter Tasks: Fertilise. Fertilising the lawn in Winter is not generally recommended, especially if you have already fed it three times since the start of Spring. There is little point in feeding because growth has slowed and the lawn will not take up nutrients. Watering. It’s surprising how dry the lawn and garden can become in Winter. Keep an eye on the moisture levels by feeling deep into the thatch. If it feels moist, don't water. In winter it's best to water in the morning. If you water in the afternoon before a cold night water may freeze, causing damage. Don't over water because a lawn that stays wet can rot when it's cold. Mowing. In most places, you’ll probably only need to mow two or three times across winter. Switch to catching rather than mulching because clippings left on the lawn may cause fungal problems. Keep the lawn clear of fallen leaves and trim back overhanging branches that may be restricting light. Weed watch. Most weeds are dormant over Winter but there are a few to watch for. It’s still not too late to treat bindii and this should also deal with broadleaf weeds, thistles and oxalis (clovers) #lawncare #lawnmaintenance #winterlawn #morningtionpeninsula #moringtion #slashing #gardenmaintenance #weaternport #hedgetrimming #lawnedges #comeecial #rrsidential #zeroturn #honda #hsquvarna #toro #atomedger #supportlocalbusiness (at St Andrews Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8Q3mlpHlA/?igshid=skv34knn3pot
