Everything you need to know to have the best garden
A healthy lawn is a great job and it doesn’t have to be unattainable. Each homeowner can start with small sections to do the entire lawn to keep the job manageable. Here are some helpful tips for achieving the best garden in your home.
Spring Lawn Care Tips
Avoid weed growth before they start to occur
From this point on, it’s best to prevent weeds from taking hold in your lawn before they develop. Use a pre-emergence herbicide to control crabgrass and eliminate weeds. Helps prevent the growth of its seeds in the lawn. The use of this product should be done in the spring season.
Attention:
When using lawn care treatments, read the label carefully and follow the instructions given regarding the use of proper curb appeal, protective gear, and safety precautions.
Cut high and as often as possible
Cutting the grass too short may seem like the best way to save time and effort. The truth is, it can damage your lawn and allow weeds to take root. Maintaining the height of the lawn leads to a healthier lawn. The ideal cut is no more than a third of the blade of grass.
Be sure to sharpen the mower blade
A dull blade damages the lawn and results in a ragged edge that makes the lawn look brown. It’s best to sharpen the mower blade or replace it with a new one when the time is right.
Good to know:
The size of the lawn and the number of mowing times will determine how often you need to sharpen the blade. Remember to evaluate the blade of grass after mowing the lawn. If it’s tattered, it’s time to sharpen it.
Water the lawn every morning
The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning, as the sun will help dry your lawn. Do not water it overnight, which can lead to prolonged wetness, especially on the mower blade, which can lead to chances of disease. Water the grass less but for an extended period of time. Getting your weed wet doesn’t mean you’ve already watered it. The water must soak into the grass so that the moisture reaches the roots.
Feed your lawn
Have you ever wondered what to feed your lawn? You should consider nitrogen, it is the most important nutrients your lawn should consume. Consider a quick slow release fertilizer mix that helps grass green quickly and nourishes it. In southern countries, it is better to feed the lawn during spring and summer, while in the north, feeding should be in autumn and spring. Do not feed the dormant grass as it cannot extract the nutrients.
Attention:
Do not feed it in large quantities. If you put too much nitrogen in your lawn, it will eventually burn it out. Read the instructions and follow the instructions.
Overseed some areas
If some parts of the lawn are thin, plant the area. Do this during the fall season.
Attention:
Do not use emergency preventative during replanting time. The seed will not grow.
