1. How Can I Keep My Lawn Weed-Free?
With this cooler weather, seasonal weeds like winter grass, flick weed, and clover can begin to overrun your lawn. The best way to treat these weeds is to use a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides.
Pre-emergents like OxaFert will allow you to protect your lawn, preventing seasonal weeds from germinating. While these products are best applied in autumn, before these seasonal weeds begin popping up, applying again in winter will ensure you are protected until spring arrives.
If you forgot to apply a pre-emergent, don’t worry. Post-emergent herbicides like All Purpose Weed Control, and Amgrow Winter Grass Killer can be used to treat these weeds as they appear in your lawn.
2. What’s the Best Way to Keep My Lawn Green in Winter?
During winter, it is common for your lawn to enter dormancy and begin to lose some colour. Even the most well-maintained lawn isn’t exempt from this issue. Luckily, with ColourGuard Plus, you can instantly give your lawn that ideal green colour. ColourGuard is a natural pigment that will help the grass hold colour for up to three months after application, keeping your lawn green all year round.
3. Can I Give My Lawn Nutrients in Winter?
As growth begins to slow through winter, you will find granular fertilisers become less effective. Without the grass actively growing it cannot take in nutrients through the soil instead, you can help give your lawn a boost by applying a liquid fertiliser. Exceed Liquid Fertiliser is a great choice because the nutrients are absorbed directly through the leaf, rather than the root system. This can provide the lawn with a boost, keeping it healthy and ready to begin active growth once spring hits.
