February is a
relatively quiet time for lawn care but the grass is going through a change
with parts dying back as it grows. This may result in spongy areas, with moss
and weed taking over.
Keep aerating the lawn and, as soon as you can, scarify.
You may need to wait until March or later to do this if conditions are harsh or
very wet. Meanwhile you can carry on
using a garden fork or a towed aerator to get air to the roots and
improve drainage.
Don’t feed the grass over the winter; fertiliser can promote
premature growth that the weather conditions can easily kill off. Wait until
spring to feed.
What you can do is think about top dressing, a process that
many professionals carry out at the end of the winter and when the grass starts
back into growth.
This is interesting. Is there a monthly subscription for that?
