Jobs for June

Mow regularly while the lawn is growing

Mowing

Mow often enough that you never take off more than a third of the leaf at once. Keep shaded areas a little higher than sunny ones, and keep the blade sharp so it cuts cleanly. In the wet season growth can be fast, so you may need to mow more than once a week.

Test your soil pH

Soil testing

A simple pH test in the dry season, before the growth of the wet season, tells you whether your soil suits the grass. Follow the kit's instructions, and test a few spots across the lawn.
