Garden expert Alan Titchmarsh has a simple fix for lawns. He says it's easy to take care of them.

Gardeners can help lawns by removing moss. Moss grows fast in spring and summer.

Use a rake to remove moss.

Alan says use a wire toothed rake. It removes moss and dead grass easily.

A wire toothed rake lifts moss without pulling grass. This helps grass spread.

Removing moss creates space for grass to grow and become healthier.

Grass care is often not a priority for gardeners.

Alan says we forget grass is a plant and treat it badly.

We cut grass weekly and walk on it. This can make it look messy.

In winter, we stop cutting but still walk on it. This can make it muddy.

If you don't want to use a rake, you can use a powered scarifier.

The machine works like a lawn mower. It collects moss and dead grass.
