Over the years, we can become a bit regimented in our lawn routine. You know – give it the same fertiliser, at the same time, year after year. And yes – some people only feed once a year! We trundle down to the local hardware/garden store and buy that tried-and-true product, get it on the …

It’s moveable either via the sun moving high across the sky in the hottest months closer to the Summer solstice (longest daylight hours) or lower in the northern sky as we get closer to the Winter Solstice (shortest day).
