I'm a lawn expert -my £1 hack will have your grass looking lush in no time, you probably already have it in the cupboard
A LAWN expert has revealed a £1 hack to make your grass green and lush this spring. With temperatures remaining high this week, after a scorching weekend, many of us likely plan to spend time relaxing in the garden. 1 A gardening expert has shared a simple trick to ensure your lawn is looking lush this spring However, if you're planning on having any guests over for barbecues or garden parties, you may want to give your lawn a bit of a spruce up. And although you may think that keeping your lawn in tip-top condition will cost a bomb, experts at Gardening Known How revealed that you can make your lawn the envy of your neighbours by using a common item found in the kitchen cupboard. The experts explained that coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which is essential for healthy plant growth and the overall health of your lawn. Coffee grounds can also improve soil structure by making it looser and more aerated, which is good for root growth. The experts explained: "It isn't the caffeine that stimulates healthy grass growth, but rather the nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace minerals that coffee grounds contain. "These nutrients are released slowly, which is a big benefit over quick-release synthetic fertilisers." "The nutrients in coffee grounds are slowly broken down, allowing the turf to have a longer period of time to absorb them ensuring stronger turf for longer." Lilydale Instant Lawns added: "Coffee grounds are an excellent, eco-friendly way to give your lawn a nutrient boost. "They are rich in nitrogen, which is a crucial element for grass growth. Applying coffee grounds to your lawn is straightforward, but it's important to do it correctly to avoid any potential issues." To use coffee grounds on your lawn, simply make sure they're dry and then sprinkle them across the grass. The four easy steps to get your tired lawn lush for summer & you don't need to worry about pigeons ruining it either Make sure to sprinkle them evenly, to avoid clumping, and then gently rake them into the soil. Coffee grounds are super cheap, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as £1, making this hack perfect for penny pinchers. They can also be used as a great natural deterrent to get rid of pests. Slugs and snails hate the gritty texture of coffee, so if you spread it near plants, they will stay away. How to stop yellow patches on your lawn STEVEN Bell, Managing Director of Paving Shopper, shared his insights on the true causes of lawn discoloration and how to maintain a lush, green lawn… 1) Sharpen mower blades 2) Prevent fungal disease with nitrogen fertiliser 3) Mow frequently 4) Aerate lawn with a fork What's more, they can also suppress the growth of weeds in your garden, making them a useful and versatile product. Ivana Agustina, Head of Project Management at ShrubHub recently revealed another simple trick you can use to improve the health of your lawn - and it's completely free. The expert revealed that instead of throwing grass clippings away after you finish mowing, you should leave them on the grass. "One of the simplest tricks is to leave your grass clippings after mowing," she told Fabulous. "They break down fast and act as a natural fertiliser, giving your lawn a nutrient boost without costing a penny.' Not only is this hack cost-effective, it will also save you time too, so you can spend more time relaxing in the sun.
