Snow is great fun for the kids (and the big kids) but be slightly wary if you want to have a beautiful lawn later on in the year.

Having snow on your lawn isn't really an issue, but a fungal disease called snow mould can develop once the snow thaws.

The snow mould most commonly develops where dense areas of snow have been piled up, such as in the spot where a snow man has been built (remember your snowman is usually staring in at you through the window long after the ground covering has gone!), or if you've cleared your paths or driveways and built up piles of snow on the lawn.

Try and avoid this because the snow mould can kill areas of the grass.

There isn't a great deal for you to do in January, but there are a couple of important points to note to ensure your lawn is able to get back into tip top shape later on in the year.

As my Mum always used to tell me - Keep off the grass if it is frozen or heavily water logged. Believe it or not, walking on frozen grass actuallly "injures" it!

Any damage to grass that was frosty probablly won't be seen immediately, but you will notice it within 12 to 48 hours after you have done the damage.  Sometimes the grass will go a purple or black colour, before it turns brown as it dies. Dead grass will leave areas for weeds to develop, and damaged grass that does not die will be more prone to diseases. 

The actual nature of the injury isn't completely clear, but some people say that the cells of the grass are damaged because the water in the leaf tissue is frozen, it is brittle - literally snapping the blade of grass.  Some believe that the crystallised water punctures through the blades of grass in thousands of places creating "wounds" that cannot heal.

Also (if not frozen or waterlogged) ensure you clear any leaves that you may not have cleared at the end of the autumn - this will stop them rotting on the lawn, and also allow air and light to get to the grass.

We have added a range of lawn and leaf sweepers to lawnmowerguide today, just in time for the big Autumn clean up.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a Lawn Sweeper is, they are for clearing leaves and debris from your lawn or even hard standing areas in a quick and easy way. Most of them work using an inbuilt brush which flicks up the leaves and collects them into an onboard hopper - which you can then empty into sacks, or even better into your compost bins!

The Leaf Sweepers make the job of clearing the lawn much easier than traditional methods of using a rake or even powered garden vacuums - especially when you have a large lawn or garden to look after. The rotating brushes will sweep up leaves, pine cones, acorns, dry grass cuttings, litter, wood chippings and even dirt and grime.

There are primarily two types available - Push Lawn Sweeper models that have to be manually pushed across the lawn, or Towed Lawn Sweepers that are design to be towed behind ride on or tractor mowers. 

The latest lawn mowers from Gardena are now available on lawnmowerguide.co.uk.

There are currently three mowers in the range, 2 cordless and one electric rotary style mowers.

All of the machines allow you to either collect grass cuttings from mowing, directly in the integrated Grass Catcher, or use the mulching function. The mulch function directly chops grass cuttings during mowing and distributes them over the lawn as a natural fertiliser.

Both cordless lawn mowers feature powerful 36 volt Lithium Ion Batteries, are lightweight and easy to manouvere. There is a 36cm and 42cm cutting width variation :

The fantastic Bosch Rotak 36 can now be had for as little as £99.95 - a very good price for a great lawn mower. Not so long ago this mower was averaging £130 in most stores.

The Rotak 36 Rotary Lawnmower, like most of the Rotak models, features the grass combs that allows you to cut right to the edge of your lawn, walls and fences.

It offers a generous 360mm width of cut, which makes it ideal for the medium sized lawn.

Cut height is adjustable in 10 steps giving heights of cut from 20 to 70mm. A rear roller means that you can get the striped effect on your lawn.

The Bosch Rotak 36 has a powerful 1400 watt motor which gives great cutting and collection results, even in longer grass
