London Lawn Care

“Snow mould” or Fusarium Patch seems to be on the move again this January and February after the prolonged snow cover that we have had this year. Watch out for small white growths on the lawn surrounded by nasty brown patches. See my earlier more comprehensive post http://www.londonlawncare.co.uk/fusarium-patch-pink-snow-mould-grey-snow-mould-microdochium-nivale/

If not treated this can cause long term damage and mean a lot of recovery work in the Spring.

Goodness, it’s been a cold couple of weeks! It really feels like a proper winter this year – which I think will do our gardens the world of good – killing off nasty pests and diseases that have plagued our lawns this year.

A word of warning, however: walking on frozen grass will crush the cells inside the leaf (as they are mostly water and therefore hard and brittle when frozen), which will damage the plant – so please keep off your lawns as much possible until the frost has gone.
