Yesterday, the lawn had it's first cut of the year. The weather had been so good over the last week with lots of sunny days and a gradual increase in temperature to 14C.
I had left it until the warmest day as I wanted to apply Pro Keen's Iron Sulphate straight after mowing. I could then water the lawn as recommended before dissolving the powder in a watering can. I cannot believe it took so many trips to spray the lawn. But the moss was the worst it has ever been and it was not long before it was already turning black.
This last picture is from the far end of the garden where there is no sun for months and the moss is the worst. Apparently, the iron sulphate not only kills the moss, but it also hardens the turf allowing better growth of the grass. It certainly seemed to work last year. Another month and it will be time for Pro Kleen's Grass Green fertilizer.
