Most people would be very happy with the lawn before we even started this renovation but lush green grass isn’t always what it seems. Ash has done a great job here with a hollow tine aeration and double pass scarify. Removing thatch and moss, relieving compaction and allowing water and nutrients to pass into the soil will do this lawn a world of good.

Hollow core aeration today. Much needed and the first step into bringing these lawns back to life. The biggest problem here is dry patch, moss and excessive thatch. Whilst we scarify each year it’s not getting to the root of the problem which is ultimately the underlying soil. Through applying targeted wetting agents at the right time and allowing the rain to pe*****te the rootzone we should see better drought resistance and also greater effectiveness of our fertiliser and overseeding (to follow) by the soil being able to hold onto moisture.

Grasses and perennials (light vs dark) work really well with each other over Winter. Planting tip: using strong structural perennials like Aster, Echinacea and Sedum against grasses such as Calamagrostis, Panicum and MIscanthus really sets each other off.

January jobs completed! Wisteria pruning. Still time to prune wisteria. Really important for encouraging bud development and to control vigorous growth. The key is to promote these small spurs consisting of 2/3 buds which come from trained horizontal branches.

There’s been some fantastic autumn colours, seed head and foliage this year. Even with the prolonged drought this summer many plants have still performed well and are remarkably resilient. It all comes down making the right planting choices as well and trying to look after your soil as best as possible.
