Basics of Lawn Care
Your lawn care is a complex process. It involves many different tasks that must be completed within a specific time frame. Looking for some help with caring for your lawn? Here are some lawn care basics that you need to know:
Mowing
Mowing. First, be sure to inspect your mower blade. A dull mower blade can cause serious damage to your lawn. Therefore, you should replace it every six weeks. You should also make sure that you mowing at a height between 2 and 4 inches. Also, don’t cut more than 1/3 of your grass blade per mow. It is important to maintain the right height for water retention, grass seed germination, and soil health.
Fertilizing
Fertilizing is essential to maintain a healthy lawn. Your lawn’s type will determine the type of fertilizer you should use. There are many types of grass so it is a good idea to speak with a professional.
Watering
A good rule of thumb when it comes to maintaining a lawn that is properly hydrated is to make sure the soil is at least six inches below the surface. Why? Why? Because a healthy lawn will have roots six inches in length, and roots don’t grow from damp soil to dry soil. To determine how often and how long you should water, you can use a soil probe. This will allow you to see how deep the moisture is reaching as you water. Then you can note how long it takes for your goal to reach six inches. Watering at the lowest temperatures is the best way of conserving water. So make sure to choose your watering times carefully.
Aerating
It is important to aerate. It is vital to aerate your lawn each spring. Perforating the soil with a rake is one way to de-compact your lawn. A core aerator can be rented from most hardware and home improvement stores.
