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
The Bosch buy has a total of seven different settings, and comes with a 50 litre bag to collect grass clips.
A description reads: "Maintain big, beautiful lawns and save time with the efficient, powerful 40 cm cutting performance of the corded Bosch AdvancedRotak 40-650 lawnmower.
