September is an important time for maintaining horse paddocks in Cheshire. As the weather starts to change and the grass growth slows, it’s vital to carry out key maintenance tasks to keep your paddock in great condition for the winter months ahead. At Green Waste NW, we understand the importance of good paddock care, and we’re here to help with both maintenance and green waste recycling services.
Essential September Paddock Maintenance Tasks
- Repairing and Re-seeding: Autumn is the perfect time to re-seed any bare or damaged areas in your paddock. The cooler weather and moist soil provide ideal growing conditions. By addressing these issues now, you give the grass the chance to establish before winter arrives.
- Aerating the Soil: Compacted soil can cause poor drainage and reduce grass growth. Aerating the paddock in September/October improves drainage and allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, giving the grassroots a better chance to thrive.
- Manure Removal: Regularly clearing manure helps reduce the risk of parasites and maintains the overall health of your paddock. It’s particularly important in October as wet conditions can cause manure to break down more slowly.
- Weed Control: Autumn is the last opportunity to tackle any remaining weeds before winter. Use this time to remove harmful plants, ensuring your horses have a healthy grazing area.
