Stop worm- casting fast!
Help is now available to amateur lawn owners in the shape of a worm deterrent product, which when applied to the lawn will deter the earthworms from casting on the surface. Worms do a splendid job in the soil just beneath the grass roots, but it is a pity that their casts pose such a problem for lawn owners. The lawn's surface quickly becomes soft and spongy underfoot. The Lawn Company says, “Deter the worms from coming closer to the surface and your lawn will remain firmer, dryer, cleaner and the grass cover over the winter will be retained. You can also mow the lawn later in the season too.” CastClear comes in a handy 1-litre bottle that will treat up to 500sqm of lawn and prices start from £21.50 for the 1-litre bottle plus Carriage. The ideal time for worm-cast control is during the months of October through to March. The chemical does not kill the worms, but merely forms a barrier in the soil that the worms will not pass through. Gardeners simply apply to the lawn every 16–30 days for best results.

Sew the seeds of success
Miracle-Gro Patch Magic was a huge success when launched last year, increasing the size of the grass seed market and occupying the top two sales positions in that category. Experience of sales in the USA, where the product was first launched, shows that sales in the second and subsequent years increase significantly due to consumer satisfaction when using Patch Magic, and the fabulous results experienced. Miracle-Gro Patch Magic is a revolutionary lawn bare-patch repair and overseeding product. It contains a combination of grass seed, long-term feed and coir that assures excellent results anywhere, and promises 50 per cent thicker grass with just half the water. The protective coir layer changes colour when it starts to dry out, making it easy to see when the grass seedlings need more water. Three sizes are available: 750g golden shaker jar to treat up to 10 patches (RRP £10.20); 1.5kg bag to treat 20 patches (RRP £16.33); 3.6kg bag to treat up to 16sq m (RRP £25.52).
