Feeding and maintaining your garden, patios, and outdoor areas can be a daunting task, especially as the summer season unfolds. 

The warmer weather and longer days create ideal conditions for growth, but they also bring challenges like heat stress, weeds, and patchy areas. To help your lawn thrive, you’ll need a well-rounded approach that includes feeding, seeding, and weed control. In this guide, we’ll explore the key elements of summer lawn care, ensuring your grass stays lush and green all season long.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or new to the art of nurturing your outdoor space, SJTools has got you covered with a wide selection of high-quality feed, seed, and weed killers from renowned brands such as DOFF, Miracle-Gro, and Johnsons.

Nourishing Your Garden from the Roots Up!

Feeding your lawn during the summer months is crucial for maintaining its health and appearance. As the temperatures rise, your grass can become stressed, leading to a dull, lifeless look. A well-timed application of lawn feed will provide the essential nutrients needed to promote strong growth and vibrant colour.

Our range of fertilisers is specially designed to nourish your plants from the roots up and promote healthy growth. As the sun shines and temperatures rise, it's crucial to provide your garden with the right nutrients to ensure a thriving and vibrant landscape throughout the summer months.

For comprehensive lawn care, the GREENFINGERS 4 In 1 Lawn Care is a must-have product. This all-in-one solution helps nourish, protect, and enhance your lawn, ensuring it stays healthy and beautiful throughout the summer season.

Watering Tips: Keep Your Lawn Hydrated

Watering is a key aspect of summer lawn care, especially during dry spells. Proper watering techniques ensure that your grass remains hydrated without wasting water.

  • Water deeply and infrequently: Encourage deep root growth by watering your lawn deeply, but less often. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week.
  • Water early in the morning: Watering in the early morning minimises evaporation and allows the grass to absorb moisture before the heat of the day.
  • Use a sprinkler system or soaker hose: These tools can help you distribute water evenly across your lawn, ensuring every area gets the hydration it needs.

Putting Pesky Weeds In Their Place!

Summer brings forth not just the beauty of your garden but also the pesky challenge of keeping weeds at bay. Fear not, as SJTools offers a range of powerful weed killers to help you maintain your garden and keep those unwelcome intruders away from your flowers, vegetables, and paths. Enjoy a weed-free oasis in your outdoor space and revel in the beauty of a well-maintained garden.

Need a quick fix for those pesky weeds? Weedol Fast Acting Weedkiller is your answer. With fast-acting properties and easy application, this weed killer ensures that your garden stays weed-free with minimal effort on your part.

  • Targets broadleaf weeds: Summer is a prime time for broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover. Using a selective weedkiller will eliminate these without harming your grass.
  • Prevents future weed growth: Regular application of weed control products can help prevent the emergence of new weeds, keeping your lawn looking its best.
  • Improves lawn health: By removing weeds, you allow your grass to access more of the nutrients, water, and sunlight it needs to thrive.

As summer fast approaches, you'd want your plants to grow healthier, stronger, and more vibrant. That's where SJTools' extensive range of high-quality plant feeds come in to support the growth of your plants, whether they are tropical houseplants, roses, vegetables, or fruit trees.

Browse through a range of products from trusted names in the industry, such as Empathy, Doff and Vitax for quality you can depend on. With the various brands and formulations available, you can be assured of finding a plant feed that fits your specific needs and preference. 

For specialist plant feeds, we recommend Doff. The Doff DP1045-02 Drip Feeders Pack 10 and Doff DP1044 Orchid Drip Feeder can be an excellent choice for those hard-to-reach and sensitive plants that require delicate feeding. 

  • Boosts resilience: A balanced lawn feed helps your grass withstand summer stressors like heat and drought.
  • Encourages deep rooting: Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium promote root growth, leading to a stronger, more resilient lawn.

  • Improves colour: A nutrient-rich lawn feed enhances the natural green colour of your grass, giving it a lush, healthy appearance.

Mowing Techniques: Keep Your Lawn Neat and Healthy

Mowing your lawn correctly during the summer can make a big difference in its health and appearance. It’s important to adjust your mowing practices to suit the season.

  • Keep the blades sharp: Sharp mower blades make clean cuts, reducing the risk of tearing the grass, which can lead to disease.
  • Mow higher: During the summer, set your mower to a higher cutting height to allow the grass to retain moisture and protect its roots from the sun.
  • Mow regularly: Regular mowing encourages healthy growth and prevents your grass from becoming too long and unruly.

Summary

Whether you're planning to start a new garden or maintain an existing one, SJTools' feed, seed, and weedkiller range is here to support you every step of the way. As the summer season unfolds, make the most of your outdoor space with our quality solutions and achieve the garden of your dreams.
