Creating a lawn to be proud of

One of the steps that must be met is regularly watering the lawn , just like we do with plants , shrubs and trees if we have them . A good lawn scarifier is essential for growth and partly to avoid the dryness of it. In summer , of course , we must shorten the time between waterings , but not in the winter, since being outdoors need less care .

The lawn should not be watered too much, but rather copiously and better at night or afternoon . If you live in a place where rainfall is infrequent, sold to drought resistant turf , is a good idea to avoid greater future problems.

Aside from watering , mowing and fertilizing the lawn fall within the general care of the lawn. A good mowing and fertilization are also essential for the proper growth of a good garden , healthy and full of life. Select specialty products to fertilize the lawn and use them according to the manufacturer's advice , both in quantity and time, but as a rule there will be a few times a year.

Other recommendations to preserve the grass

One of the recommendations made ​​in the lawn is to aerate it . When the grass has been long planted the soil is compacted . This makes the lawn can not be developed to the fullest and also grow weeds. This is solved with a punch or skewer . The first is a stick that , when clicked on earth shows ground cylinders 2 cm . in diameter. The spike does the same but without removing cylinders , just leave the hole. This activity will approximately every 3 years.

Scarify the soil is another work that is usually done about once a year. Consists of scratching the floor surface to remove what is known as felt, which is nothing more than the remains of leaves , roots and dirt accumulated on the ground. You can do well with a rake or scarifier with a manual or electric , although this second option is more expensive , of course.

If after this process it is found that the lawn needs reseeding , is the ideal time to make it .
