Moss and dead grass make lawns look bad. Gardeners are working on their lawns as the weather gets warmer.

Moss grows quickly now. Alan Titchmarsh has a simple way to remove moss from lawns.

Alan says to use a wire tooth rake to remove moss and dead grass. He showed how to use it in a video.

The rake lifts moss out of the lawn. This method is simple but hard work.

If you don't want to use a rake, Alan suggests a powered scarifier to remove moss and dead grass.

A metal rake can also remove moss and dead grass.

A powered scarifier is used like a lawn mower. It collects moss, dead grass, and weeds.

Alan says moss grows faster than grass in winter. This is why we have so much moss after winter.

Now that winter is over, we need to remove moss so grass can grow.

After removing moss, you need to mow your grass.

Alan shared how to get a greener lawn.

He says not to mow too short and to set the mower blade to one inch in summer.

Alan says longer grass blades mean a greener lawn. He advises not to water the lawn, as it will recover quickly in the rain.

Alan suggests cutting lawns every two weeks, or weekly for a thick lawn.

Lawns should be cut weekly in mild weather with sunshine and rain.
