Bank holiday weekend started with glorious sunshine and dissolved into rain by Saturday night and into Sunday.
But it didn’t stop me getting the mower out and giving the lawn it’s third cut of the season.
Moss has been a big problem this year but using MO Bacter a week ago I am now starting to see the moss go brown and I am waiting for it to go completely brown and then disappear – just as it has for many of my friends, including Tim (the reluctant gardener) who wants a perfect lawn without any raking.
He used MO Bacter last year and, because he and his wife Catherine are both heavily into organic products, was delighted to see the moss gone within six weeks. And he never had to lift a rake!
MO Bacter is a good general fertiliser for lawns, so as well as eliminating moss it feeds the grass and gives a brilliant green look – much improved when the moss has gone.
The Daily Telegraph writer Bunny Guinness is also trying
MO Bacter out at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how she gets on.
For the time being I am waiting for the rain to finish (good for keeping the MO Bacter granules working) so I can have a gin and tonic on the lawn.
Happy bank holiday – and here’s to a Monday with sunshine!
Bank holiday lawn mowing – then the rain
