For places like Hobart, Launceston, Ballarat, Blue Mountains, New England Tablelands. Timing is typical for the zone; check your own lawn before you act.
If the lawn was left long over winter, bring it down over several mows rather than one hard cut. Scalping a lawn as it wakes up leaves it yellow or brown for weeks.
Pull or spot treat winter grass before its seed heads drop seed into the lawn for next year. Then plan an autumn pre-emergent.
Remind meWater rules can change with the season and with dam levels. Check your water authority's current rules before you set your controller for the warmer months.
Remind meClover makes its own nitrogen, so it thrives where the grass is hungry. Feeding the lawn at the label rate helps the grass compete.
Remind meSharpen or replace the blade, clean the deck, and check the oil, air filter and spark plug (or the battery on a cordless mower) before the growing season starts.
Remind meA simple pH test before the growing season tells you whether your soil suits the grass. Follow the kit's instructions, and test a few spots across the lawn.
