With the drier and more temperate spring season firmly upon us, there is a great deal more work for green-fingered enthusiasts and gardening professionals alike to be getting on with.
Not least of these is the general maintenance of the lawn – and all kinds of gardeners can agree that one of the most satisfying things about their favourite pastime is the creation of a neat strip.
There are a wide range of tools that are ideally suited to this task – catering for every kind of preference you can imagine.
One of the standard options tends to be something like a self-propelled petrol lawnmower – and the mid-sized MD 46SP Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower is a great example of such a product.
The self-propelled drive adds a touch of comfort to the task – and here at MowDIRECT, we stock the machine for £199.95 including VAT – considerably cheaper than the RRP of £279.95.
For those who still wish to mow their lawn when faced with more unpredictable climate conditions, a four-in-one product could be ideal. The McCulloch M53-160DW High-Wheel 4-in-1 Self-propelled Lawn Mower is built on a Honda engine and is perfect for cutting rougher and uneven kinds of grass.
There are other methods of lawn maintenance that need to be considered at this time of year. Author of Gardening in Your Pyjamas and Thorny Problems Helen Yemm singled out reseeding as one example.
In an article for the Daily Telegraph, she explained this can deliver a surprise flash of colour in the late summer – especially if you "tuck nasturtium seeds among other plants in large containers".
"Reseed any bald patches of lawn by roughing up the soil before applying one of those seed/coir/feed mixtures sold for the purpose," the expert continued.
