Sustainable and organic gardening go hand in hand, representing more than just passing trends, they are responsible practices that cultivate plants while preserving our environment. By embracing eco-conscious methods such as composting, natural pest control, and rejecting harmful products like synthetic polymer-coated fertilizers, we can actively reduce our negative impact on the ecosystem. So what should we think about lawn care wise this Organic September?

Keep your eye on thatch!

Are you concerned about excess thatch in your lawn? The solution lies in scarification, and there’s no better time to tackle it than September. Scarifying your lawn will give you better control over thatch levels. Furthermore, as we approach autumn and winter, we should also consider the potential issue of moss. Don’t underestimate its ability to thrive in saturated soils with reduced air space. This leads to slower water movement through the soil, keeping the surface wet for longer periods.

Thatch, a spongy material consisting of clippings, shoots, and organic matter, can exacerbate the problem by creating a moist environment for moss spores to germinate. Regular scarification provides an effective solution, promoting better water drainage and reducing the chances of moss spores taking hold. Additionally, extra aeration will be essential this autumn to maintain a healthy lawn.

Feed your lawn well and naturally, it will thank you for it!

If you are scarifying your lawn this month to control thatch, then a good balanced feed afterwards is a must! True Grass fertilizer is crafted from recycled food waste, breaking down into essential minerals and vitamins. Packed with humic, fulvic, and amino acids, along with seaweed, mycorrhiza, and an organic wetter, it’s the sustainable, organic solution that provides all the vital elements for luscious grass and healthy soil, making it the savvy choice for conscientious lawn care!

If it keeps growing, keep mowing!

Growth should be starting to slowdown so you can begin to reduce the regularity of mowing, whilst at the same time gradually increasing the cutting height. You can aim for 2 to 5 cuts in September. It is most important that you check that your mower blade is sharp…the job will only be as good as the tools you use!

Sustainable lawn care promotes responsible land stewardship, educating us on the importance of long-term harmony between human cultivation and the natural world. Let’s make a positive impact on our environment, one garden at a time.

Our core mission at the Lawn Association is to make accurate lawn care information readily available via our website and through our Free Membership Scheme for gardening enthusiasts.
