It’s that time of year again when the grass grows and the warmer weather draws you outside. You enjoy being outside in the summer and would like to have a nice lawn. With some time and you can have beautiful work you can enjoy the whole summer. You can really start by planting lawns and aerating your lawn. Then continue through the summer with normal mowing maintenance.
The first thing to do is make the lawn nice. You can buy grass seeds at different stores. When trying to pick grass seed, you can choose the highest quality seeds and afford them. Some seeds that you can purchase may have more weed type seeds than others. So read the packaging first. But don’t expect to find seeds without seeds, because weeds are always present, even in small amounts. You should also pick the best seeds for your lawn. If you have dogs that chew the grass in certain areas, then there are certain seeds that can last longer in these areas.
When you have your seeds, you need to scratch only where you plant. You can use this rake, and you can’t dig deep into the soil. By doing this, he loosens the soil so that the seeds can take root. Just throw out some seeds and you can rake them into the ground if you want. Then finally water the seeds and soil every day or so until the grass starts to grow.
Aerating your lawn is an important part of having a healthy lawn. Aeration is basically holes in your lawn. The holes should be two inches apart. There are two ways to do this, by driving a solid or hollow stick through the ground. Using a hollow stick is usually called coring because it pulls out some of the soil leaving a hole. You can leave more of the coring in the grass or rake the grass. It is usually not recommended to use a solid rod, because it pushes the soil, tilling it, which causes excess aeration. But the best time to aerate is spring or late summer or fall. When aerating be careful not to hit light lines such as sprinkler or light lines. The day before you prepare to aerate the lawn, you must water it to a point. This will moisten and soften the soil, making it easier to aerate.
The benefit of aerating your lawn is that more oxygen organic fertilizers and nutrients reach the root system of the lawn. Water can be better soaked through the ground. It loosens the compacted soil so that the roots can grow and spread more. Aerating also helps break down the culm, which is the brown layer between the grass and the seemingly spongy soil.
Mowing is something that must be done to have a beautiful yard. There are some tips for cutting your grass that will help you have a beautiful lawn. You should cut your grass shorter than 3 inches. When you cut grass shorter than 3 inches then the root system is shallow and you run a higher risk of the grass burning and dying. It also increases the risk of insect infestations and weeds. A mulching mower is best used because you can feed the grass clippings. Keep the blades sharp and use full throttle while walking slowly. The grass will be cut thinner, and you can leave the clippings on the grass. If the grass is wet, then the mulching process will not work. you will be left with the fern of the grass. Now the work is done you can go back and enjoy the beautiful lawn.
