5 Simple Tips For A Beautiful Lawn

A lustrous green lawn is one of the most desired goals in gardens around the world. Here are five simple tips to help you get the perfect lawn.

The warm season has already begun and it is time to enjoy your wonderful lawn. If you take proper care of your lawn, it will be green and lustrous at all times, and will no doubt be the envy of the entire neighborhood. To help you, we've put together a list of important things to keep in mind:

The regular bucking of the lawn is very important as it helps to thicken the grass. Regarding the cutting technique: little and often is better than a lot at once.

Change the direction and cutting pattern each time so that the roots of the grass are not pressed in the same direction. For each cut, the rule of thumb is to reduce the stem by about half or two-thirds, about 5 cm. In mid-summer, it is advisable to leave the grass a little longer, as it will better withstand periods of drought.

Mowing the lawn removes many nutrients from the grass that has to be replaced for optimal growth. For this reason, from the beginning of spring, it is advisable to fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. 

Your lawn needs nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous, and special lawn fertilizer mixes can be found at your local gardening dealer. The fertilizer containers indicate the amount to be used.

If you want your lawn to be green and lustrous all summer, it is very important that you water it. The frequency of watering your lawn depends on the temperature and humidity. When grass needs water, it begins to turn bluish and gray, and the older leaves of the plant begin to curl or wilt. If you have planted a new lawn, you will need to water it once a day so that the seeds can germinate and a strong root system can form. 

Today, new technologies allow you to water your lawn comfortably. You can water your garden manually or automatically, with partial or full automation. The GARDENA product range comprises stationary and mobile irrigation solutions, as well as irrigation pumps and controllers. If you wish, You can let your smart, programmable, automated sprinkler and irrigation systems do all the work. All you will have to do is program and position the sprinklers.

With persistence and the right tools, you can win the battle against weeds on your lawn. Many of the weeds can be removed mechanically.

Smaller weeds (such as veronica or white clover) can be removed with a manual scarifier, which is used to stunt and stunt their growth. Daisies and dandelions should be removed with a root scaffold; it is very important to get the maximum length of the root to prevent it from growing again. If there is still no way for them to disappear, you can resort to herbicides. If the bad roots have overtaken the grass, the best solution is to restructure the entire soil and cover it with roll grass.

Grassroots need air to breathe and grow. Oftentimes, the turf soil is not so sandy as to allow air to reach the roots, and consequently, no growth occurs.

With the help of a simple rake, you can make holes in the grass and fill them with coarse sand. In this way, the surface water can flow and transport oxygen to the roots. Scarifying allows you to remove dead grasses and other debris from your lawn. Removing the layer of thatch from your lawn will provide more space for the lower parts of the grass to breathe and make the stems grow better.
