A nice-looking lawn with finely cut grass, smiling flowers and useful flora… it looks like an attractive image painted on the canvas but could also become a reality provided you have the patience and time to invest in Lawn Maintenance.
Lawn Maintenance is not a boring job, as it seems. You just need to whistle some of your favorite songs, use your lawn maintenance equipment and a bit of knowledge to grow your lawn into a beautiful place where you can spend your leisure time with family and friends.
The most important thing in Lawn Maintenance is to ensure that you prepare the seed bed well. Sow your lawn annually with high-quality seeds that are best suited to your requirements. Also make sure to feed the lawn with nitrogen-rich fertilizers in spring and summer, and with balanced fertilizers in autumn, for optimum growth.
Like every other living thing, grass needs air and water to thrive. Taking care of this aspect, Lawn Aeration is an important task, especially in summer months when children or sport can lead to surface compaction. To aerate soil, just drive your fork into the lawn at regular intervals.
Watering is another important aspect. Prolonged dry spells could slow down the grass growth and may cause deeper-rooted weeds to outgrow grass, to give your lawn a sloppy look. Thus, water your lawn frequently, especially during summer, to give your lawn a nice green look.
Worm Casts are another factor that one must take care of while maintaining a lawn. These are caused by ‘Allolobophora’ earthworms, and smother fine-leafed grasses. You can scatter them manually with a brush or can spray worm killer to remove them. One must also remove decayed organic matter scattered in the lawn.
