With Christmas looming and warm weather now the norm, it's a great time to fertilizer your lawns. Even a scruffy old Kikuyu will respond in a week and look great for festive slumming, when fertilized this week. Water first feed, then rewater.

Lots of folk like using organic lawn feed, but just a warning, if you have large trees over or in your lawn, in other words they get fed when your lawn does, use a Complete 'D' or Superphosphate occasionally, so they get a feed too.

Organic lawn fertilizers, will be high in nitrogen, but low in or have no phosphates at all. The fine leaf lawns won't mind and you'll kill the moss and your burr clovers at the same time.

If you use a mulcher mower, try trimming your edges first and around any trees, then all gets picked up when you cut/mulch.
