Make the lawn really winter -proof: This is how the last mow is successful!

For garden fans it is now high time to make the final preparations for the winter! The last mowing of the lawn should ideally take place after the first frost night, experts recommend. Hobby gardeners should cut the stalks to about three to five centimeters to prevent them from kinking and possibly becoming sick when they are snow.

If you want to do something good for your lawn, you should mow it on a dry, sunny autumn day and make sure that no grass residues remain because they do not properly rot in cooler temperatures. In addition, fertilization with potassium is advisable - so the lawn remains strong and healthy during the frosty months. The winter rest ends as soon as the temperatures are constant above 10 degrees and the nights are no longer frosty. Further tips and rule of thumb are here at www.merkur.de .
