For places like Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Northern Rivers NSW. Timing is typical for the zone; check your own lawn before you act.
Once the lawn is clearly growing again, give it its first feed at the rate on the label. Water granules in straight away unless the label says otherwise, and sweep any off paths and driveways.
Bindii forms its prickly burrs in spring. Dig out plants or spot treat them with a herbicide whose label lists bindii and your grass type, before the burrs appear.
Remind meRun each sprinkler zone, fix leaks and broken heads, and do a catch-cup test to see how much water each zone delivers and how evenly. Then set run times with the Sprinkler Run-Time Calculator.
Winter grass and bindii are easiest to dig out, or to treat with a selective herbicide whose label lists the weed and your grass, while the plants are small.
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 meWarm-season grass grows slowly or not at all in the cooler months. Mow only when it has grown, and don't lower the height to make the mowing last longer.
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.
