The Importance of an Autumn Lawn Feed
Nutrient Replenishment
An Autumn lawn feed is specially formulated to replenish nutrients that the grass has lost over the summer. Unlike spring or summer feeds, which focus on rapid growth, autumn feeds are designed to promote root development and long-term resilience. These feeds are typically rich in potassium and phosphates, which strengthen the grass at its roots and improve its ability to absorb nutrients and water. This helps grass survive the winter and resist disease, frost, and other harsh conditions.
Strengthening for Winter
During Winter, lawns go dormant, meaning growth slows or stops. However, a well-fed lawn is better equipped to cope with cold temperatures and frost. The nutrients provided by an Autumn feed bolster the grass’s natural defences, allowing it to withstand winter stress and reduce the likelihood of patches or thinning in the spring.
Weed and Moss Control
Weed and moss growth often increase in autumn due to cooler, damp conditions. Autumn lawn feeds often contain ingredients that help suppress moss and weeds, ensuring that your lawn remains healthy and free from invasive plants that can weaken the grass.
Conclusion
Applying an Autumn lawn feed is essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn year-round. By strengthening roots, improving nutrient absorption, and protecting against weeds and moss, this simple step ensures your lawn stays lush and green, ready to thrive when spring arrives
