Lawn Care in the summer does not differ from the content of the already grown coating. The main stages include:
- watering;
- haircut;
- weeding;
- mulching.
When watering we recommend abundantly to irrigate the lawn in hot weather, but do not overdo it. The main task is to avoid the accumulation of moisture, which will damage the turf and grass grown already. The optimal time for moisturizing is evening hours. Sandy soils are watered 2 times a week, for clay soils enough and once a week. Arid times are an occasion to think about additional irrigation. It is very important not to allow the soil to dry out.
Lawn mowing in summer is performed when the grass grows 10 cm. The recommended height of the coating in June is 4 cm, in July and August – 6-7 cm. During a rapid growth, mowing is carried out at least 2 times a week. Slowing vegetation in August means that there will be enough one mowing per week.
Weeds can be weeded out on small lawns by hand. For large areas, use selective herbicides – they will not harm useful herbs, but they will significantly slow down or even stop the growth of weed plants.
When mulching as a fertilizer, use beveled grass. It is necessary to distribute it evenly over the site. It is not recommended to leave mulch for more than 7 days to avoid decay.
