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.
Preventing them from occurring is always easier than dealing with them after they rear their ugly heads. That is why you need to know exactly what you need to know what you must do to keep your lawn healthy. Of course even the most meticulously tended grasses occasionally have an outbreak of weeds, a problem with grubs, or even a small patch of dollar spot fungus.
Phosphorous is slow-acting and most of its benefits are only apparent below the soil. It will spur new root growth over weeks and the result will be a healthy top growth over time. Without a comprehensive soil analysis, it is difficult to establish what exactly is deficient. It can exist with very little help from the soil, but if you want an enviable patch of green you really need to stock the pantry for your grass.
But just as a gorgeous grass enhances your home, one that has some obvious shortcomings will detract from the look of a house and the neighborhood in general. A weed-strewn, scraggly, patchy sod or a sickly plot of grass can bring down the value and it makes outdoor activities less enjoyable. You need to hire a landscape designer and horticultural expert or ornamental scientist to maintain your turf.
Consult your nursery manager and find out what exactly does well in your area. Also find out what the soil lacks and make the necessary additions. This may be in form of manure, compost, granular fertilizer or foliage feeds. Shredded bark can add compost as well as good textures in your landscape.
Maintaining a weed-free patch is not rocket science. It just requires correct repairs done at the right time on regular intervals. The first step is to make sure you have all the tools necessary. Those tools should be in good repair, which makes any job easier. The trick is giving it just the right amount and right balance of nutrients at the right time to help it grow as consistently perfect as possible.
How well your soil supports yard growth and health depends on the balance of the four basic ingredients that make up any soil: air, water, inorganic minerals, and organic matter. The wrong balance creates a soil that does not drain and discourages root growth, or one that drains too quickly to effectively hold nutrients.
When doing lawn maintenance ensure that the grass is cut regularly and correctly. If it is not done well, the patch will have a poor appearance and will invite weeds and pests. Add adequate nitrogen fertilizers. Spread granular types evenly and use the right equipment to spray liquid manures.
