Tips to Reduce Moss
Feeding provides the right nutrients to your lawn. A healthy lawn grows strong and lush grass to crowd out moss.
- Raking/Scarifying: Remove moss and fallen leaf debris to prevent the build up of dead organic material that encourages moss growth
- Watering: water regularly during dry spells to avoid dry patches. It will also keep grass healthy and strong. If a long drought period continues do not water excessively.
- Aerating: aerating the soil will help encourage the free passage of water and nutrients through the soil
Follow the above practices with application of Aftercut All In One Autumn and the reduction of moss can be successfully achieved
