Of the most important activities in the garden is the proper grass maintenance. There are few general rules to keep if you want to have a beautiful and neat grass carpet. Regular watering is crucial for the ryegrass. This action is often underestimated, but is essential for rich and healthy soil. The optimal watering of the lawn should be performed once a day and during the summer - at least twice a day. Be careful not to overwater the lawn. You will know that you have done this by the appearance of different types of mushrooms and moss. Regular watering is recommended for well-maintained grass areas, especially after mowing.
Another important aspect of lawn maintenance is its proper and regular mowing. Mowing of lawn areas is done with varying frequency, but for optimal maintenance of gardens and yards it is recommended once a week. There are areas that should be mowed more intensively such as golf courses (some parts of the golf course are mowed even five times daily), stadiums, playgrounds and more. Mow the lawn once a week to maintain an average height of 2-3 inches - this is the optimal height. Do not leave the grass to grow, because this may interfere in its proper development. Cut no more than two-thirds of the height of the grass. Have in mind that frequent mowing and maintenance of intensive grass can be exhausting. You may cut your grass with a hand mower, or you can choose to make it easy on yourself and consider one of the varieties of petrol lawn mowers. Petrol lawn mowers can be rotary, cylinder mower, or ride on mower types.
Symptoms such as pale green color and slight yellowing in places are evidence for the weakening of your lawn. This shows need for fertilizing. Use mineral fertilizers because organic ones are not so effective and may affect also its decorative effect. It is recommended the fertilization to be done during dry and non-windy weather. Water thoroughly after fertilization, in order to melt the fertilizers. Spreading of fertilizers must be done with gloves or special fertilizer machines. An important element in fertilization with mineral fertilizers is to avoid excessive amount of the substance because this may cause burning and drying of the grass.
