Lawn care tips: will be jealous of even neighbors

And how to do everything to make that lawn as beautiful, greener and even neighbors jealous, and Tautvydas Gurskas, a professional agronomist and landscape specialist, told.

– What do you need to do with the lawn after winter and why?

– You can say – revitalize. The first job would be scarification. Some people call aeration, some with scarification or combing, but all of these three things differ slightly with each other: aeration – when we put the ground and let the roots in the air, scarification – when we cut the ground about a centimeter, lift the dead grass, leaves and then skim them. In this way, the air is allowed, dead grass is removed, the ground warms up faster, vegetation begins and we have a green, beautiful lawn. Combination – when only dead grass is skimmed from the surface.

– If I just picked up a rake and skimmed that grass?

– You can do that. There are special rakes with metal nails that look ahead, but believe me – about half of the aro will fall. It is really very difficult.

– If we do not turn the spring work a reality, will heat, sun and water suffice? Are you just having a longer sleep?

– We will play longer, she will sleep longer, because that felt from dead leaves, which forms, does not allow the sun, does not allow so much moisture. Then there are more diseases in the summer, the lawn is more ill, and more problems occur. And when we get in the spring, we grab, fertilize where we need to replant, then we have a wonderful lawn all season. After the scarification, everything should be grabbed, stacked and removed into compost.

– What fertilizers should be used?

– Fertilizer should be used in spring with nitrogen. Nitrogen promotes leaf growth, phosphorus – root growth, potassium – stems growth. This is what we need most leaves, so we give a lot of nitrogen.

– But will it not burn the grass or seeds after fertilizer?

– No, you will certainly not burn. They will dissolve, feed everything. This is a very good moment – when we cut the ground with the scarifier, the fertilizer falls into that incoming notch and intervenes in the ground.

– How much fertilizer?

– I would recommend about 2-3 kg of Aru. After about 4-5 weeks, I would recommend repeating. Then the lawn is well nourished all the time, less weeds, less sick, and always have a very beautiful, even, green lawn.

– What to do next?

– lawn seeds. A good place – when the seeds fall into the groove, it germinates very well. The recommendation is to use the same lawn seed that the plot was sown. If you do not know what has been sown and you want to grow fast, choose turbo seeds. They quickly injure them and become very well involved in any mixture. Then you need to water, wait for the rain and the lawn will be new. It is important that before the scarification work is done, mark the nozzles, the lighting so that the scarifier does not break everything.
