  Having a beautiful lawn is not an easy thing. Grass suffers from constant stress, especially because of the drought and various diseases that attack it during the summer. Here is how you can make your lawn more drought-tolerant. In June, before the temperatures rise too high, you can spread more grass seeds to fill empty areas. If you do this when the temperatures are already very high, the grass blades will grow weak and likely not resist. Sprinkle the lawn constantly, preferably in the morning or in the evening. To determine the level of water required, put on different areas of the lawn a few containers with the same diameter. Stop watering the lawn when the water level reaches 2.5 cm inside them. The lawn must be mowed regularly, but it is good to leave the grass blades a bit longer than usual, as the temperature rises, to ensure that their shadow preserves the moisture for a longer time and protect the roots. In July and August the grass can have 8-9 centimeters. Af...

What does fertilization actually mean? Nothing else but increasing soil fertility so the grass grows and develops optimally; in general, the process consists in the use of fertilizers and irrigation. Lawn needs at least 16 essential elements for healthy growth, but rarely the soil is sufficiently fertile to provide all of them. The most important elements are nitrogen (N), potassium (K) and phosphorus (P). Do not start te fertilization before making a soil test to find out exactly what nutrients are missing. Regarding the fertilization period, this is done depending on the types of grass and their growth periods. - Winter grass needs light fertilization at the beginning of autumn, enough to develop its roots. Then mid-spring fertilization ensures the growth and density of the blades. Avoid fertilizing the lawn during the summer and do not use a quick-action fertilizer either at the end of spring. The most effective one is the autumn fertilization which helps with drought tolerant gr...

When it comes to lawn fertilizers, you can choose between mineral fertilizers and organic fertilizers. When it comes to mineral fertilizers, you will often encounter the term NPK. NPK refers to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Why are these elements important? Nitrogen is needed for growing. Phosphorus strengthens the roots and provides healthy and beautiful flowers, leaves and fruits. As about Potassium, it protects the grass against environmental stresses, helping it better resist drought. There are short-term and long-term mineral fertilizers the difference consisting in the rate of nutrient release. As about organic fertilizers, they also have a long-term effect. They come from different sources such as dung, as well as animal, vegetable or fish waste. One of the advantages of commercial organic fertilizer is that it comes in granulated form, for easier spreading and measurement. Some types are also in liquid form, but liquids can be more difficult to spread eve...

For a lawn to look beautiful, dense and green throughout the summer, you must perform three   essential care operations:   Mowing the lawn, with a frequency influenced by the growth rate of the grass Fertilization Watering The lawn should be cut at a height of at least 5 - 6 cm during the summer, which is optimal for keeping the humidity at the root level for a longer time and allow less frequent watering (at 2-3 days instead of daily).   By mowing the lawn, grass also loses nutrients that help it grow and develop, which is why they should be replaced periodically by a fertilization made at least once a month with products from Revive of Colorado , by respecting the dosage indicated by the manufacturer.   Application of fertilizers in June-July necessarily involves watering the lawn, otherwise the drought combined with the action of nitrogen will have an unwanted effect: dry grass. Watering must be done only late in the evening or early in the morning. ...

When you have a dog, you may also have some specific problems with the lawn - the so-called dog spots. These are common problems that occur when your dog's urine comes into contact with the grass. If you have been through this, you know how frustrating it can be and how difficult to prevent. Dog spots are caused by the nitrogen in the dog's urine. Strongly fertilized lawns already receive a high amount of nitrogen, so the extra drops of the dog's urine are exactly the ones that cause the problem. It is equally true that stressed lawns are much more susceptible to degradation, just as recently planted lawns and those suffering from diseases or lack of water. Successful prevention and treatment of dog spots often requires a step-by-step approach. Soak the dog spots with water and do it as soon as possible after the dog urinates. Feed the dog with quality food with a protein content that does not exceed his daily requirements. Encourage your dog to consume more fluids ...

  For those who do not know, Smart Irrigation Month is a campaign created  by the Irrigation Association to increase public awareness of the importance of saving water during the hot season`s peak demand. There are annual  activities bringing together water providers, irrigation companies and other industry professionals like those who make the best lawn fertilizer and who attempt to promote smart irrigation practices and educate customers in different ways – with the purpose of minimizing peak water use and find better solutions for the water challenges we face nowadays. Farmers say crop irrigation is much more expensive now than 20 years ago; rising temperatures and the desertification process make them irrigate much more often. If irrigation was necessary once every 7-10 days in 1990, farmers now irrigate once every 3-4 days. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to replace the sprinkler system with smart irrigation systems, to reduce water consumption. One o...

As a home owner, lawn mowing is an operation that you will perform several times a year, which is why you need to do it well. Here are some tips for you.

With a sharp blade, you will also finish the job sooner. It is recommended to sharpen the lawn mower blade at least once a year, at a specialty shop. Mowing the lawn regularly guarantees a beautiful lawn. In May and June when the grass grows fast, it is recommended to cut it once every 7 days, and in the rest of the time at least 3 times/ month. The frequency of cutting also depends on the variety of the grass. There are types that grow at a speed of between 2.5 and 3.6 cm/ week. Adjust the cutting height only once before ...
