Spring is the time to think about maintaining your lawn to keep it lush and healthy for the coming warmer months. Sustainable and healthy lawns can be achieved by adopting eco-friendly practices, here are some of expert top tips on how to go green with your lawn mowing.

Using an Electric Lawn Mower

Using an electric lawn mower is a great way to be more environmentally friendly. Electric mowers are powered by rechargeable batteries or plugged into mains with power cords and emit zero emissions. Electric mowers are also quiet and require less maintenance, making them a more eco-friendly option.

Lawnmowers like the Hyundai Electric Corded Lawnmower 32cm 1000w 230v , Hyundai Electric Corded Lawnmower 33cm cut 230v with Reach Mulching  and Hyundai 38cm Cut Corded Electric Lawnmower 1600w Rear Roller Mulching Lawnmower cut are becoming more popular for eco-conscious users.

Mowing regularly

Mowing regualry but less frequently can help reduce the amount of waste generated and promote a healthy lawn. When you cut the grass too short, it becomes vulnerable to pests, diseases, and drought. Experts suggest cutting no more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time to keep the lawn healthy, especially on the first cut of the spring season.

Leaving Grass Mulch Clippings On Your Lawn

Leaving the grass clippings on the lawn, known as mulch, after mowing can bring essential nutrients back to the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers and promoting future healthy grass growth. These mulch clippings also act as a natural way to help to retain moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth.

If you prefer a tidier lawn, consider investing in a mulching lawn mower that will cut the grass blades into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly. Why not choose a rear mulching electric lawn mower like the Hyundai 33cm Cut Corded Electric Mower. This mower is an excellent value choice and voted Best Value Electric Lawn Mower by the Independent. And if you are looking for a wider cut for larger gardens, Hyundai Power Products also offers this electric mower in a 38cm wide cut.

Watering Your Garden Wisely

Overwatering your lawn can waste water and cause damage to the grass. Instead, water your lawn deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to absorb the moisture. Watering in the early morning or evening can also reduce water loss from evaporation. Consider using a rain barrel or water butt to collect rainwater and use it to water your lawn.

Using Natural Lawn Fertilisers

Chemical fertilisers can harm the environment, pollute waterways, and harm wildlife. Instead, consider using natural fertilisers, such as compost or organic fertiliser. Compost is an excellent source of nutrients for the soil and can be easily made at home using garden waste, kitchen scraps, and other organic materials.

Avoiding Chemical Pesticides

Chemical pesticides can be toxic to beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife. Instead, use natural pest control methods, such as handpicking pests, introducing beneficial insects, or using natural pest repellents.

Adopting eco-friendly practices for your lawn maintenance can benefit both the environment and your lawn's health. By using an electric mower, mowing regularly, leaving the clippings on the lawn, watering wisely, using natural fertilisers, and avoiding chemical pesticides, you can achieve a sustainable and healthy lawn. Small changes can make a big impact on the environment, and you can play your part by going green with your lawn mowing.
