What kind of lawn we want in front of our house? A soft green carpet? A short cut like a football field? Or a flowery meadow? We want an aesthetic accessory for ornamental gardens or paws, on which children and animals can manage. If we have a complete idea, we have to choose the appropriate type of grass for sowing the area, depending on the location of the future lawn. But do not overtake.
Area preparation
Before setting up the lawn, the surface must first be chemically treated to remove weeds. To do this we will use herbicides, usually non-selective, to be fully effective on all plant species. These products are applied with respect to the actual weather.
Landscaping
It is very important to prepare the ground for setting up the lawn. The terrain needs to be shaped, modeled, as needed. If we have the opportunity to use the services of a garden architect, we have won. Otherwise, it is good to create a sketch, a sketch for understanding the future of the field. After the rough terrain modeling, the soil is dripping, ideally with an aerator. After that we leave the terrain for up to three weeks to rest. After this time, we will call and burn again.
Selection of grass mixtures
Grass mixture is selected according to the use of the grassy area. We will be happy to help with the selection at any kind of gardening center. Do not worry too much about grass seeds. Grass mixtures from the hypermarket are not worth it. However, a high quality mix will guarantee you a nice and durable lawn. They will also tell you what are the specifics of grass seed sowing in the spring, summer, or autumn. Grass seed is sown manually or using seed drills. Apply a thin layer of substrate to the entire lawn in a continuous layer. For this purpose, the h
and-held spreader is well served.
Irrigation of the lawn
After sowing, irrigation is absolutely necessary for the good condition of germinating seeds. Approximately one month, keep the sowing area still wet, so germination is even. After that, it is no longer necessary to irrigate the lawn daily, enough to irrigate the third day, taking into account the local climatic conditions. Do not forget that not only the sun's rays, but also the very strong wind spreads the lawn. If we have the possibility of using rainwater, the irrigation system is very suitable for
automatic irrigation.
Cutting versus mowing the grass
First we cut the grass at the height of the stem about 8 - 10 cm, taking into account the density of the stand. The young lawn is shortened to about half the length of the stem, 4-5 cm. The cutter knife should be clean and sharp, not to break the stem and the roots. Other intervals are suitable for climatic conditions about 10 -14 days.
How to mow a new grass
Lawn mower is a lot of kind. When making it, it's good to think not only about drive, but also about how much grass we use with the mower. On a small area, a spindle mower, which lacks the lawn but actually cuts, suffices. This is a very gentle and economical way to treat the lawn. However, on large surfaces, you might want to buy a
rotary mower. Gasoline, electric or accelerator. In addition, these mowers are usually fitted with a travel that makes it easier to handle the mower.
