How to Easily Prepare and Repair Your Lawn for Drought Season

-

Before drought season, you will want to make sure that your lawn is in good order and that it’s resilient enough to withstand a period when it might not get as much water as it normally should. The main issue is that without water your grass could become very vulnerable, and it’s possible that part of it would dry off completely so you’d have to replant it.drought keep grass green no brown spots

 

To repair your lawn before drought season, consider the following advice:

 

  • Examine the lawn and make sure that there are no brown spots in grass and no weeds. Remove any weeds and treat brown spots if possible, or replant areas affected too heavily by disease.
  • Water and nourish your lawn properly before drought season, so it will survive more easily. Consider also checking the soil’s pH and adjusting it to an ideal value.
  • Make sure that the soil isn’t too sandy in the area where you plan to plant your lawn. Sandy soil tends to allow water to flow through it easily. This is one of those times when a soil that has a greater content of clay rather than sand might actually be favorable.
  • Get expert advice on the right type of organic fertilizer to use for your lawn. It’s usually best to opt for a slow release fertilizer that doesn’t release its nutrients too quickly.

The Very Best Trees You Should Use with Clay Soil

-
Although clay soil can be a real pain when it comes to growing anything from annuals and perennials to a wide variety of veggies, many types of trees can actually thrive in this type of soil. However, it’s best to know exactly which ones are ideal, if you’re planning on making sure that all your trees will grow and stay healthy. Before thinking of planting anything, consider the positive aspects of clay soil. This is a type of soil that has high density and can retain moisture very easily. Also, since the particles making up clay soil are negatively charged, this soil is more rich in all the necessary nutrients that plants would need to survive – including magnesium, potassium and calcium. The reason why most plants and veggies don’t grow well in this type of soil is because it’s slow draining and warms more slowly in the spring. Also, it can be more alkaline and it can heave more heavily during the winter months. Magnolia, hawthorn, crab apple trees and hazel trees are some of the

Fall, especially the period when the ground is still warm, but no longer excessively hot, such as late August and early September, is the best time to plant many different varieties of trees, while spring is the best time for fruit trees. Here are some more details: In fall, there is less chance for drought and excessive heat – trees need cooler temperatures and environments that are moister to be able to grow new roots. Fall is not as droughty and scorching as the period from May to August, being a time when it is easier for plants to accommodate and adjust to a new environment; Plenty of time until the first frost – the longer your new trees have until freezing weather settles in at the end of fall, the better; The period right before dormancy is the best – most trees, with the exception of evergreens, spend a couple of months each year in dormancy. If the trees that you want to plant go dormant in fall, pick the period right before, to give your new trees time to adjust and the

How Often Should You Water Your Grass Seeds for Best Results?

If you want to make sure that you’re watering your grass seeds properly, you’ll have to adjust the amount of water you add to them on a weekly basis. However, even though many experts will recommend limiting the amount of water to about an inch once or twice a week, the problem is that this approach cannot be applied to all situations.   You have to consider the fact that your climate might be less than ideal when it comes to encouraging the seeds to grow properly with that amount of water. In some cases, it’s simply not enough, while in others it might even be a little too much.   If it constantly rains where you live or humidity levels are too high, then you might consider allowing nature to take care of your lawn for you. Of course, even then you might have to add a little extra water from time to time. In contrast, dry areas will require a lot more water, especially if the sun blazes above all day long and leads to most of the water being evaporated.   The type of soil you ha
