It is no secret that we have seen some pretty bad weather conditions over the course of 2009 and early 2010, with many areas of the UK placed under a blanket of snow for a number of weeks. The problem starts when the bad weather affects your garden turf, and you’re left wondering what on earth you can do to get it back to being healthy once more. Bald garden turf is certainly not attractive, nor will it do your garden much good in the long-term.
The key to protecting your garden during the bad weather is by ensuring there is enough food, water, light and air. These four elements are essential garden turf ingredients and are all considered just as important as each other. If your garden gets damaged during the bad weather, the spring should rejuvenate it to an extent, but it is still important that you take precautions prior and during the bad weather spates.
When the frost and snow arrives, remember not to walk on the grass during this period. If you walk on the snow-covered grass then you will damage the garden turf underneath and it will also leave marks on the lawn. In addition to this, walking on snow-covered grass can also encourage the growth of fungal diseases, as these are known to thrive in cold conditions.
Of course, the ultimate bad weather prevention is through ensuring your garden turf is of a high standard and quality which will minimise any potential damage caused by freak weather conditions. Effectively, the turf is the ‘bones’ of the garden and the better quality you have to start with, the better it will fair in bad weather.
