Aerating the Lawn

Lawns prone to waterlogging will quickly deteriorate encouraging moss to invade.  Improve the drainage of the lawn by aerating.

 

Step 1
In spring use a hollow tine aerator to remove small cores of soil from the lawn.  

 

 

Step 2
Push the hollow tines into the grass at regular intervals; each new position will force the removed soil up the tines.

 

Step 3
Using a besom or garden broom sweep Westland Lawn and Turf dressing into the holes to stop them filling back in with soil. Now feed the lawn with a lawn tonic such as Westland Aftercut Lawn Feed & Conditioner, which should be applied after mowing.
