If you wish
to retain the greenery in your garden especially during the testing
summer you need to put in extra effort to maintain the healthy look
of the grass. The basic factors that need due consideration can be
put as follows:
- The amount of water provided
- The nutrition level required
- The requirement of sunlight
- The environment sustenance of plants.
In fact the green look of your lawn can be maintained if proper nutrients
level is retained in the soil. The nutrients allow the grass to grow
consistently. Alongside proper watering aerating and mowing of the
land also need a regular looking into.
The location of the lawn with regard to its requirement of adequate
sunlight also has to be kept in retaining its greenery but excessive
sunlight can lead to damage. Likewise, inadequate sunlight in a shady
area is also not good. In such a case the greening process can be catalyzed
by pruning overhead branches to make way for sunlight.
The maintenance of the lawn also depends on the number of people using
it in the sense that the greater the number the greater would be the
requirement for its upkeep. Since the level of oxygen in the grass
also needs to be maintained excessive activity on the grass withers
away in a very short span of time. Flat patches on the lawn are an
indication that it is about time you aerates it. However with regard
to aeration it should be best avoided in summers and taken up either
during spring or better still during fall.
Watering the lawn regularly helps to retain the moisture in the soil.
As water evaporates quickly in the noon, it is advised not to water
the lawn at that time. In fact the underlying secret of a lush green
lawn is watered either in the morning or else in the evening. Moreover,
the whole area should be watered rather than watering in patches. If
you have a big garden you can also consider the idea of installing
an irrigation system for watering it effectively. To maintain greenery,
the rule for water requirement is ‘Not too dry, neither too wet’.
For optimum growth of grass and relation of its greenery, the right
PH factor balance also needs to be maintained. To maintain the appropriate
proportions and to increase the nutrition levels, fertilizers and manure
need to be added from time to time. You can approach a local laboratory
to analyze the type of soil in your garden, as this can help you determine
which fertilizers would work best in your condition. Another way is
to consult your neighbors who have used a particular fertilizer for
their compound.
The required nutrients being supplied, it is regular upkeep that needs
consideration. Mowing the lawn at regular intervals can help you keep
its right length. This way the grass would get the required supply
of water & sunlight for its growth and sheen.
If followed properly, nutrition and proper maintenance can lead to
a lush green lawn. However, in case something goes amiss, it is always
better to go in for professional help and expert guidance.
