WANT A LUSH LAWN? CHECK OUT THIS CHEAT'S GUIDE, PERFECT FOR SPRING!

Time-poor Aussies are receiving a helping hand from garden care brand Scotts with the launch of GrassFit – a cheat’s guide to a lush lawn.

Drawing on the benefits of horticultural therapy and addressing the concern of 9 in 10 Aussies wanting to change at least one thing about their backyard, the online downloadable GrassFit program is a quick, foolproof guide for quickly achieving a lusher lawn.

Developed in partnership with fitness trainer Sam Wood,  founder of 28 by Sam Wood, the guide will also help create a lusher you, containing a grass-led workout that will see you reaping what you sow in mow time.

Sam Wood said: “My backyard is my – and my family’s – happy place. With the grass between our toes, we instantly feel calmer and more relaxed. But, like most Aussie families, we are often pressed for time.

“GrassFit is a wellness program filled with shortcuts that keep my lawn looking lush while I keep myself in good shape – mentally and physically. Feeding the lawn only takes 10 minutes, and I’m in the great outdoors.

"Mowing? I turn it into a quick HIIT workout. Picking up bags of lawn food? I transform those into weights for Lawn Lunges. Get the kids involved too – they’ll love it,” Sam said.

Our lawns need a health check 

Scotts’ Aussie Backyard Study also showed:

• When it comes to our lawns, the nation’s biggest gripes are the weeds (46%), closely followed by the desire for thicker, more lush grass (40%) and want for a healthier lawn (34%).

• Almost two in five (39%) even go as far as to say they often forget their lawn and neglect it. We’re so busy we rarely take a moment outside to stop and smell the roses.

• But all is not lost… 8 in 10 (80%) of us love walking barefoot on the grass; longing for a lush lawn is undoubtedly on our minds.

• When creating the perfect lawn, over half (54%) of Aussies want thicker, healthier grass but aren’t sure why they should use lawn food.
