UNPLUG YOUR LAWNS

Suffering the effects of too much rain? You can turn your swamp back into the verdant lawn you used to love!

Lawns need and love water, but don't want it hanging around - it's a regular, fleeting engagement, rather than a permanent relationship. Weather extremes such as this year's inundations along large parts of the east coast can play havoc with your lawn, leaving the relationship in a soggy, muddy mess. The solution? Good drainage. Here's how!

GET THE BALANCE RIGHT

Too much water over a long period of time ans air cavities in means the soil are filled, the roots are deprived of essential oxygen and the grass dies.

Too little water and the roots wither and essential nutrients in the soil won't make it to the blades above.
