If the grass in your yard turns brown in the winter, it is probably affected by a disease called snow mold. Snow mold develops in the cold season, in the presence or absence of snow, and, as it progresses, the lawn becomes brown and the diameter of the affected areas reaches 50 - 60 cm. Under humid conditions, the edges of the brown areas become pink-ish due to the spores of the fungus causing this disease. The lawn can be partially or totally destroyed. The favorable conditions for the development of this fungus are low temperatures (0-18 ° C), snow, long periods of rainy and frosty weather, shady or poorly drained areas, lawn left unmown over the winter or covered with leaves that prevent it from breathing. With the melting of snow, the spores are spread by drops of water, tools, animals and people who cross the lawn.  It may leave you asking How to make your grass green for Spring ?  The answer is feeding it the proper fertilizer in the fall so it is nourished at the roo...

Pay attention to your outdoor furniture. If possible, move the outdoor furniture indoors. However, if you must keep it out,...

Maintaining the soil by mechanical actions is not enough. The areas designed to grow vegetable and other plants must be permanently cared for and the quality of the soil improved to ensure high fertility, especially true for drought tolerant grass areas . The basic methods to achieve this goal are soil fertilization and irrigation. Vegetables typically take from the soil large amounts of nutrients, in a short period of time. Among the agro-technical measures that contribute to increasing the production of vegetables and improving their quality, the correct application of organic and mineral fertilizers has a very important role. Excessive fertilization can lead to product quality degradation and increased pollution of the soil and groundwater, therefore it is essential to balance the application of organic fertilizers with mineral fertilizers. The soil in your garden likes a whole range of organic and mineral fertilizers, especially in the form of solutions or granules. Liquid fertil...

Winter is knocking on the door, bringing with it uncertain climatic conditions. It can be very cold, with a lot of snow but also rainy with many temperature fluctuations. In each case, the lawn is exposed to significant stress. To support the lawn to overcome these conditions, we must provide it appropriate organic lawn care products for winter nutrition . In addition to regular trimming and watering, fertilization is also required. Usually the lawn is fertilized approximately 3 times a year: in spring (March - April), summer (June - August) and autumn (September - October). The most effective is autumn fertilization. Why? Because the lawn will make a stock of carbonate hydrates. This will keep it strong during the winter and push it to grow abundantly in the spring. The fertilizer develops the roots, increases the resistance of the grass to frost, reduces the risk of fungal diseases that typically attack the grass, increases the lawn`s resistance to drought and other stress factors,...

We are generally accustomed to the idea of spring lawn fertilization, but do not let the cooler temperatures fool you. Autumn is actually the best season for this operation which does not take too long, but it is very efficient; it strengthens the roots of the lawn, providing a solid foundation to thrive next spring. Two fertilizer applications are required to prepare the lawn for the winter. Early in September, the lawn usually recovers after the warm and dry summer, so you will want to give it a dose of fertilizer to accelerate the growth of the leaves. While this September dose is important, a further application at the end of October or early in November is essential. Lawn fertilizers will push the growth of roots throughout November and even early December. By helping roots to grow before winter comes, you will ensure a quicker apparition of the grass in the spring. The bonus is an increased resistance to disease and drought.  You can find some of the best lawn fertilizers ...
