Careful, Attractive And Thorough Lawn Maintenance
Lawn maintenance is an art and a science. Few things make a home look as spectacular as a lush, manicured, emerald green pasture. Aside from making your neighbors green with envy, a fabulous grass is also the grand, comfortable stage for many most treasured moments, from summer birthday parties, to a lazy neighborhood cookout and first game of catch with dad. Potassium is essential to integrity of such turf.
Good soil is your first line of defence against problems, because it ensures that the grass has all the nutrients it needs to grow strong, win the competition against weeds, deny pests a home, and prevent disease. The best soil also ensures that water drains quickly enough so that it does not drown, but not so quickly that it dies of thirst.
After all, you cannot entirely control nature. Keeping ahead of these problems entails just a little diligence and the right knowledge and advice. You provide the watchful eye and few hours on weekends, and a gardener who understands your need to create a verdant, rich green turf that you and your family can enjoy with pride.
Any pasture also relies on a steady supply of smaller amounts of secondary nutrients. Each plays a lesser or greater role in overall health. But the best protection for any lawn is the right balance of manures. Meadows prefer loam for good reason. Loam provides a ready supply of food to the grass.
Liquid manures are easier to absorb such that the roots spread more quickly. Dry fertilizers are more durable since they have a longer staying power. You can use either depending on your requirements. Whichever method you choose, your turf will respond accordingly. Every blade of grass will give a testament of how well it has been protected. Have a team of gardeners to remove fallen leaves and keep it neat and tidy.
The planting medium is no less important. Consulting professionals goes a long way in producing long lasting and meticulous grasses. Eliminate infestation of unwanted weeds and pests. Mow the grass regularly to make it spread better. Use a roller immediately after seeding to make the ground firm and water immediately.
You will not need a degree in chemistry to master the fine art of fertilizing a green, but you do need a basic understanding of the nutrients the grassland needs and how it uses them. Grass type affects fertilizer consumption. For instance, Bermuda grass and Kentucky bluegrass are pretty much hogs when consuming nutrients, while centipede grass and Bahia are light eaters.
Regardless of how you classify them, all weeds are opportunistic plants that look to take advantage of conditions the turf finds challenging. Some weeds will infiltrate a wet area at the first sign of boggy conditions. Others can thrive in hot, waterless conditions that leave most grasses withered, brown and sparse, hence the need for lawn maintenance.
