With the seed covered it will safe from any birds, it will also germinate quicker and the roots will have a good start and be stronger.<br \/><br \/><strong>Dry patches on lawn, grass not growing:<\/strong><br \/><br \/>This could be a sign of dry patch. Basically what happens is that a waxy substance build up under the lawn in the soil, this stops water getting to the roots of the grass.<br \/><br \/>A cheap way to combat this, and I would only recommend it on small areas or patches, is to use Washing up liquid, just a thimble in a watering can will be enough, to much and you can damage your lawn.<br \/>Before you do this it would also help if you forked over the area with a hand fork, the deeper the better for the dedicated green finger and thumb club.<br \/><br \/>Then lightly go over the area with the watering can given an even spread over the patches, this will help break up the wax the same was as washing up liquid breaks down grease on pans. This will then able the water to get through to the roots of the grass.<br \/><br \/><strong>Cylinder Mowers:<\/strong><\/p><p>If you cut your lawn with a cylinder mower it is important that you check your blades are cutting at least once a week, you will be surprise how much they will wear down, if there not cutting they will be pulling the grass out instead of cutting it causing more damage and stress to the grass. If you do not know how to adjust the blades ask your local repair shop. A blunt blade can damage your lawn.<\/p><p>Please do not hesitate to contact the Lawn Specialist<\/p><p>If you have any problems with your lawn<\/p><p>We are here to help you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e10fe9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e10fe9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ff7db5\" data-id=\"3ff7db5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0fa897 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b0fa897\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Fingers and Thumbs Lawn Tips Browse Fertilisation Insect Control Frequently Asked Questions Resources Lawn Care &#038; Treatment Services Lawn Aeration Lawn Scarification Weed and Moss Control Disease Treatment Total Weed Control Turfed Lawns Lawn Mowing Seasonal Lawn Tasks Green Fingers and Thumbs Lawn Tips Top Dressing of a Lawn Contact Us Green Fingers and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-383","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=383"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1796,"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/383\/revisions\/1796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.lawnspecialist.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
