| While feeding, weeding and moss control
are essential in creating a great lawn, it is important not to overlook
other limiting factors such as water.
For great grass all year round it is likely that you are going to have to supplement natural rainfall at some point in the year. However, it may cost less and be easier to apply than you think. Droughts weakened lawns and can lead to severe moss problems the subsequent spring. While lawns that are well cared for fare much better, those that have adequate water come through on top. |

Cost of watering
The cost of watering a small to medium size lawn is probably less than you think. With 1000 litres of mains water costing approximately £1 – for a few pounds you can even give a relatively large lawn (500m2) a good watering. |

Many are discouraged from watering by the ‘hassle’. The good news is that for lawns that can be watered using a domestic 12mm (½ inch) hose, help is now at hand with the Water Tractor (available from Great Grass for £80 inc VAT).

A simple, yet ingenious devise, it applies water to a swath - approximately 10m wide - as it travels back down an outstretched hose to the tap.
