🌦️ April Showers Bring Lawn Powers – Your Garden Guide!

🌤️ The Weather & Your Garden

The UK is set for a classic April week ahead, with temperatures hovering between 13°C and 19°C. Expect a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, especially early in the week, ideal conditions to spur grass growth and activate fertilisers.

What this means for your garden:
Perfect weather for lawn feeding and growth. Moist soil and warmer temps encourage grass to fill in sparse patches quickly.

Actionable Tip:
Apply your spring lawn fertiliser now. The rainfall expected this week will help nutrients reach deep into your lawn, giving you that vibrant spring green-up.

🌱 Tip of the Week

Check Your Lawn Mower Blades

Now’s the ideal time to sharpen or replace your mower blades. Sharp blades make cleaner cuts, helping grass recover faster and preventing unsightly brown tips. Regular sharpening means healthier grass and less susceptibility to disease—essential for that pristine lawn appearance you love.

🛠️ Tool / Product Spotlight

Anyone who’s been reading my views on lawn care for a while will know that I’ve never been a big fan of “all in one” feeds. However, I realise that not everybody wants to spend hours researching and tweaking fancy lawn feed programs every month (for some reason!).

So with that being said, if you don’t want to spend hours in the lab conjuring up a lawn feed program, then here are my sincere recommendations for all in one feeds, that will get your grass looking great with minimal effort…

EverGreen Complete 4-in-1 Lawn Feed

• What it does: Combines fertiliser, moss killer, weed control, and helps grass establish a deeper root system.

• Why it’s useful this week: Timely application now ensures a greener, thicker lawn as we approach peak growing season.

• Where to get it: Available on Amazon HERE

Grass Gains Lawn Bulk 

• What it does: provides a high dosage of nitrogen from organic sources to rapidly boost both growth and greening.

• Why it’s useful this week: With the mixed bag of mild temps and some rain, this feed will break down and activate in the soil very quickly, meaning a green lawn by next weekend.

Nutrigrow Professional 4-in-1

• What it does: This professional grade product will feed your lawn, kill weeds and kill moss. I’ve used this many times with great results, but it is a bit pricey.

• Why it’s useful this week: Applied now, this will have your lawn weed and moss free in a couple of weeks, as well as giving the lawn all the vital nutrients it needs to grow thick and green.

• Where to get it: Buy it on Amazon Here

🧤 Quick Fix

Got Moss Issues?
Scarify lightly and apply a moss killer containing iron sulphate now—within days, moss will blacken and can be easily removed to make room for new grass growth.

Due to a change to pesticide legislation a few years back, its no longer allowed to call Iron Sulphate a “moss killer” but that is exactly what it does, so rest assured when browsing that any Iron Sulphate product you buy, when applied correctly, will kill your moss and green up your lawn.

There are a lot of different options here: On Amazon
