September's renovation window is open, and a lawn treated properly now heads into autumn in far better shape!
A few jobs for the weekend, with time to order your supplies:
πΎ Mow the grass (if it needs it): Raise your mower blades one notch higher. Taller grass survives the cold weather better.
π Remove debris: Rake up all dead leaves and twigs so the grass can breathe and get sunlight.
π± W**d by hand: Pull out large weeds from the roots so they do not take food from the grass.
πͺ Aerate the soil: Push a garden fork into the lawn every 3 inches or so. Rock it back and forth to let air and water reach the roots.
πͺ£ Apply Satugran: Scatter the granules evenly across the lawn. It helps the soil retain moisture, giving your new grass seed the constant dampness it needs to germinate.
πͺ£ Apply Autumn Feed: Don't mix them in the same bucket; spread them separately so they distribute evenly. Satugran actually helps the lawn nutrients absorb more evenly into the roots so they complement each other well.
π« Scatter the seeds: Scatter your grass seed over the thin and bare patches.
π§Ή Rake lightly: Use a soft rake or broom to gently work the seed and the granules down into the soil holes you poked earlier.
π§ Water, Water, Water!
A bit of prep now and your lawn will look fabulous in the coming months!
