8 Super-Duper-Easy Ways To Get The Perfect Lawn
The other day, I was grabbing lunch in a proper pub-pub. The kind that had curtain-covered, brown bar stools, a dart board in the corner, a lovely pub garden with patchwork grass and quotes etched into brass bar signs. One of which read, “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half as wonderful as a lush green lawn – Sir Winston Churchill.”
Okay, so that’s not a genuine quote by our most stoic of wartime leaders, but it probably could have been. That’s how much charming gravitas it boasts. It sounds like something old Churchy would have rumbled on about during one of his famous dinner quips. Which is because a manicured lawn is one of those guilty pleasures us English-folk share. We all love a lawn – especially these garden champs. It’s a quintessentially British thing; the backdrop to rain-soaked barbecue bashes, Pimms-parties, Test cricket, childhood memories, garden games, high tea. And not forgetting the jam-covered scone, “oooh, it’s sunny” picnic lunches and jumper-for-goalposts-kickabouts.
Your useful lawn tricks
The point I am trying to make is: a lush lawn is the most important part of a garden. Whether it’s sitting on your back patio as you slurp on your morning coffee or chugging on a craft ale as you swing in your hammock at the end of a long day; every occasion is made better by a beautiful slab of turf.
That’s why I’ve pulled together a list of 8 incredibly useful tips, tricks and bits of advice to help you in your hunt for the perfect lawn. Trust me: if the weather reports are anything to go by, this hotter-than-the-Azores, garden weather is going to be hanging around for a few more months yet. Meaning it’s time to enjoy your little slice of the great outdoors. You might even get a little nod of appreciation from Keen Kevin the next time he peeps over the fence to see what you’ve been up to.
And there we have it: everything you need to know about making your lawn great again (which is probably what President Trump says to the ironically-Mexican White House gardeners).
