Bank holiday lawn mowing – then the rain

A moss-free lawn with MO Bacter from DJ Turfcare

Bank holiday weekend started with glorious sunshine and dissolved into rain by Saturday night and into Sunday.
But it didn’t stop me getting the mower out and giving the lawn it’s third cut of the season.
Moss has been a big problem this year but using MO Bacter a week ago I am now starting to see the moss go brown and I am waiting for it to go completely brown and then disappear – just as it has for many of my friends, including Tim (the reluctant gardener) who wants a perfect lawn without any raking.
He used MO Bacter last year and, because he and his wife Catherine are both heavily into organic products, was delighted to see the moss gone within six weeks. And he never had to lift a rake!
MO Bacter is a good general fertiliser for lawns, so as well as eliminating moss it feeds the grass and gives a brilliant green look – much improved when the moss has gone.
The Daily Telegraph writer Bunny Guinness is also trying
MO Bacter out at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how she gets on.
For the time being I am waiting for the rain to finish (good for keeping the MO Bacter granules working) so I can have a gin and tonic on the lawn.
Happy bank holiday – and here’s to a Monday with sunshine!

LAWN GREEN – NOT OF BONANZA

There was a piece in the papers today about Lorne Greene, who played Ben Harper in Bonanza and it set me thinking about how a Western star could have been made for promoting lawns

He was tough, fought baddies and had a strong family around him, including Litttle Joe and Hoss.

The same could be said about some of our lawn products, and MO Bacter is just one that springs to mind in the battle against moss.

As the spring gardening regime begins moss has become the main problem after a long cold winter in which lawn problems have developed.

MO Bacter is organic, boosts grass growth, kills moss and has bacteria within it which digests the browning moss debris.

Friends who have tried it over the last two years swear by the results and have repeatly bought bags (at incredibly reasonable prices for the area covered) and so they have persuaded me to give it a go.

Now the weather is warm enough for the bacteria to take action I have applied the first treatment – and within weeks there should be results (so my friends say).

And I have been smarteninjg up the edges of the lawn with my new Atom Edger (from DJ Turfcare in Surrey) which has given the whole garden a remarkably finished effect.

If you have a good lawn you want it to look its best and some of the products from DJ Turfcare are proving to have great results.

Last year we tried Green Comfort, which really gave the entire lawn a spectacular effect, containing all the essential nutrients for perfect grass. And after a terrifically cold and wet period Recovery gave the lawn a complete feed.

I’ll keep you posted on the results but from what I’ve seen and heard these organic products seem to be just what the serious lawn gardener needs.
