A 5 kg bag is equal to half a  cubic yard of manure. Rake and clean up all leaves and debris from lawn. Top-dress and over seed to improve the appearance of your lawn. Cut the grass short to a height of 2 ½” at the end of October. A lower height will help soil dry more quickly in the spring. This will also help prevent vole damage ..read more
