TIPS FOR A GOOD SEED

To succeed in planting grass there to perform basic tasks ( dug , stone removal , land leveling ) , the irrigation system to work properly. But also keep in mind these tips and explanations that give very good results.

If everything is done , it is very important to the total elimination of weeds, because weeds grass we sow if we do so, appear before. Perform dug to provide the seed faster deepening of the root.

Help with a credit line as Poly -Sports 20 +04 +20 +5 Fe ( balanced fertilizer ) or 18 +12 +06 PolySports to encourage root development mainly ) . Whether it is a new area, we recommend extend organic matter + silica sand or the like to protect the seed from the air , insects , birds and increase the humidity .

It is important to make several daily watering to maintain moisture in the seed (never swamping the ground ) , short and frequent watering . We must take special care when we cover the seed, you just need to plug it a few millimeters , to protect and prevent choking by having a thick layer . The seed will germinate and finding no light will die. It is also important after planting and cover , we spend a loop to better level the layer covering the seed.



In winter usually take longer to germinate, approximately two weeks. And in summer around a week. We recommend Lawn sow in late September , during the month of October (ideal time ) or early spring. If possible, avoid planting in summer as high temperatures and increased humidity favor the onset of disease .


TIPS FOR A GOOD RESOWING

If we just take care of watering , mowing and occasionally applying an agricultural fertilizer, will surely find this ( Photos 1 and 2). When we want to leave our perfect conditions grassy area in this situation ( Photos 3 and 4) have to perform some tasks scarification. Scarification may be mechanical or manual. To get up slightly small areas that are sparsely populated areas and will condition . We'll seed and then some sand or mulch. We will use these tasks to apply fertilizer TheAndersons to strengthen the grass there and you have to germinate.



For large areas that are in very poor condition use a scarifying machine (Figure 5) , save time and money. A manual mechanical scarification or its function is to make a micro - dug to soften the soil and remove dead grass roots and weak . When grass is it is not necessary to do this because it will produce more harm than good . In this enlarged photograph shows the work of scarification in an unpopulated area of lawn

When we have had many problems in a year with the lawn, scarification is enough. No need for a deeper work . When we passed the machine or rake to scarify ( photo 5 ) , collect the remains , preparing for reseeding (photos 6,7,8) . After clearing the area of plant remains (Figure 9) , apply seed evenly , later to cover it with sand or mulch. The TheAndersons dispensers have the potential to be used as planters .
