If we want to have beautiful, green grass, we need to regularly water the lawn, weed, fertilize and mow. We will talk about mowing green turf, but now a few words about watering.
When we water the lawn, we often make a lot of mistakes. The most common of these is daily sprinkling. It calms our conscience, but in reality it may be wasteful. On hot, sunny days, the water delivered in a small amount will evaporate quickly. Surface sprinkling of the earth only stimulates a modest development of roots just below the top layer of the earth, instead of encouraging them to penetrate deeper. That is why it is so important to water the lawn once every 2 or 3 days, but thoroughly and thoroughly. Only then can the water reach the lower parts of the soil, where it will be stored and from where it can be used for plants, for example during longer rainless periods. Absorbing gradually through the soil, it should reach a depth of approx. 15 cm.
The need for a lawn for additional hydration is not the same everywhere, but generally rainfall in Poland is not regular, and in summer they are usually not enough to keep the turf in perfect condition. If we do not have an automatic irrigation system installed, we can stock up on various types of rotary or rotary sprinklers, which we connect to a hose with water. They will evenly water our lawn for a sufficiently long time. It is often assumed that during the growing season the average dose of water needed for turf per week is 20 l is 1 sq m. If it is not provided by rain, we have to take care of it ourselves.
In order to properly irrigate the green carpet, however, we should also take into account the type of substrate. On clay soil, an old, well-rooted lawn is more resistant to drought. A young lawn on sandy soil is much more exposed to quick drying. We must therefore water it more often. Regardless of the type of lawn, it is recommended to water in the morning or, possibly, late afternoon or evening. Then there is the lowest rate of loss of water by evaporation. But evening watering can affect the development of fungal diseases, so it is less favorable than a morning shower.
In addition to regular watering, we also need to nourish the turf well. Fertilizing the lawn gives measurable benefits: it not only strengthens and improves the appearance of grass, but also increases its resistance and reduces the occurrence of weeds. Spring fertilization is carried out after scarifying or after the first mowing. To regenerate after winter, the grass needs a proper dose of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron and microelemntes. We can use a multi-component granular fertilizer for the lawn, it is important to spread it evenly. On a small lawn, we spread it by hand, use a seed drill for larger ones. If we choose a long-acting fertilizer, just use it once a season. We apply granulated fertilizers on a dry lawn. It is only after he scattering the turf that we water profusely. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging, because both the shortage and the excess of fertilizer granules can lead to yellow stains.
If the lawn after winter does not look as good as we would expect, we can fertilize it first, and then, after about 3 weeks, fertilize with granulated fertilizer. For foliar fertilization we can apply fertilizer with a high dose of nitrogen or a universal fertilizer. You need to prepare the solution according to the instructions on the package and then water it with a watering-can using a watering can or spray with a sprayer. Such spraying should not be performed when the sun is shining, because the water evaporates quickly and the salts from the fertilizer can burn the leaves. This treatment is worth carrying out when it is relatively warm but cloudy. Through foliar fertilization, the plants take up nutrients faster. They are used most often when you want to quickly see the effects of the treatment, and also when unfavorable weather conditions, for example low temperature or long-term lack of rainfall, persist for a long time.
The lawn needs our attention. However, without a doubt, it's worth spending some time on it, so that you can then enjoy it with pleasure during fun or relaxation.
