The lawn is a hit in Corona lockdown

We have a lot more home time in connection with the Corona lockdown. And the extra time is spent on do-it-yourself tasks. But which tasks are the most popular with consumers? A British investigation has now lifted the veil.

Draper Tools, a UK distributor of tools for professional and private consumers, has asked 2,000 adults what they think are the most meaningful do-it-yourself projects while in Corona lockdown.
It has resulted in a top-40 list of the most popular chores, from cleaning up the garage and toolbox to painting tasks and outdoor chores in the garden
The highest scoring activity is planting seeds, bulbs and plants and lawn mowing takes second place on the list.
Further down the list are activities such as weeding, sowing grass seeds and laying grass turf.
As grass seed supplier for DIY markets, DLF sense, when many garden owners choose to use the extra home time to take care of the lawn.
"We have found that boxes of grass seeds have disappeared from the shelves of the DIY markets at a good pace in several European countries, and we are of course pleased with this,” says Søren Halbye, EVP at DLF. "Throughout the spring, our employees have been extra busy producing and sending fresh supplies of grass seed to customers."
