Lawn
Keep on mowing as necessary — there is a second peak of grass growth at this time of year in most years and it is invaluable for thickening up the grass sward before winter. Apply autumn lawn fertilizer to strengthen grass before winter and increase soil fertility for the following year. Any repairs to worn or damaged areas can be carried out now, lifting sods or sowing seeds on bare areas, having loosened the surface. New lawn areas can be sown very successfully about now - grass seeds germinate readily because of warmth in the soil and moisture and a lawn will be well established in as little as six weeks |
