Lawn Care Help:


No magic pill or a wand can beautify your lawn than taking its right care. Lawn care can be easily divided in 5 easy steps that will give you the best results.

1. Mowing the grass to the right height during the right time of the year.
Mowing the grass to the right height is very important as the height of the grass assists it in absorbing the sunshine it needs to grow and develop into a healthy plant. Never mow the grass to its one-third height. Leave the cut grass on the lawn. The cut grass decomposes to rich fertilizer for the lawn.
2. Use a sharp blade
Always use a sharp blade for cutting the grass. A dull blade will tear of the grass, which will make it difficult for the grass to fight off pests and disease. To see whether your blade needs sharpening take a close look at the grass after few days of mowing. If you see brown lines at the tip of the grass, it is high time for you to sharpen the blades.
3. Regulate water intake
Proper irrigation greatly avoids the problems of pest growth and disease. Wherein over watering can be more dangerous than lack of water. Most grasses need 1- 1.5 inch of water per week. This much supply would be sufficient to moisten the soils to 4-6 inches below the surface for the clay soils and 8-10 inches for sandy soils. Always use a rain gauge to measure the water supply during the rains and regulate the supply according.
4. Balanced supply of fertilizer and pesticides
Don't over feed your lawn. Supply plenty but balanced fertilizer during spring, summer, early fall and after the first frost. During a drought skip the summer feeding. However never skip the fall feeding.
5. Prevention is the best cure
Preventing the problem before it arises is the best to avoid troubles. Feed your lawn with regular and required pesticide to avoid the uninvited guests-bugs, pests and diseases. Further more keep repairing the bare spots as needed. Use the right herbicides as needed, this will avoid and control the growth of weeds.
Now maintaining your lawn can be very easy. With little efforts, your lawn will be most beautiful ornament of your house.
