✨ Lawn & Garden Tips ✨
Welcome to May, the last month of autumn
Camden Mowing loves creating beautiful spaces.
We're also passionate about mowing and gardening and will share tips on the 1st of every month to help you in the lawn and garden.
For your lawn;
💧April was a very dry and sunny month. We haven’t had any notable rain for over 4 weeks now. Even though your lawn needs less water in the cooler months if we don’t get good regular rain your lawn will still want some water from time to time. We’ve been lucky we have been piggybacking off lots of rainfall in Jan, Feb and Mar.
🌿You may start noticing w**ds in your lawn now. There are sprays you can apply either before w**ds arrive or after to treat these otherwise your easiest but not ideal option is to mow them back in or else use the Elle Woods technique and bend and snap them out manually.
🍂Marge, the leaves are here!! Leaves are beginning to drop now. As nice as leaves in nature are, leaves on your lawn are like a wet blanket and will set your lawn back if not picked up, chinese elm leaves are the worst, they just don’t want to move!
🎤 Last and final call for organic fertiliser application for your lawn for the season to help hold it’s colour for the winter
In the garden;
💧Like your lawn, we haven’t had decent rain for a while now, don’t forget your plants still need some water during the cooler months
🌹 Have a look for nice flowers in your garden. I'm sure mum would love something from your own garden for Mother's Day
🍃 Autumn is a beautiful time with the changing colours of the trees. Pause and take in the beauty of the falling colourful leaves.
🍁In the cooler months the focus moves away from mowing and into the gardens. The cooler months are your garden preparation months for the warmer months.
🍆If you’re a veggie grower, the change of season is a good time to plant your next lot of winter edibles in your garden.
💪Similar to the lawn, a final feed up of organics for your garden plants will keep their nutrients topped up during winter.
From the hospital bed;
🚑 I prefer to make things about others but on a personal level for a moment, after developing momentum in the lawns and gardens that we manage over the last 2 months, I’ve had to do some much needed maintenance on my body yesterday in order to continue creating beautiful spaces for our valued clients moving forward. I want to say thank you to the Camden Mowing team for looking after all the properties that we manage while I am parked up recovering. I look forward to getting back out there on the tools before spring and taking care of our clients 🌞🤜
