Steps to get your lawn to grow nice and how to make grass green as possible . However, you will have to commit some time and energy towards getting it done. The following tasks will help you on your way to achieving a near perfect lawn, so make sure you follow these tips and also consult a professional gardener about how to apply them to your own soil and the type of grass you want to grow:   Check your soil’s pH and adjust it if necessary. A balanced pH will allow your lawn to grow more easily and prevent any challenges that you’d normally encounter. Get additional porous soil to complement the existing clay-like soil in your garden and in the area where you plan to seed your lawn. If your soil has too much clay, it will retain an excess of water and prevent your seeds from growing properly. Aerate your soil after seeding and then fertilize your seeds using slow-release fertilizer. That way the fertilizer and the water will find its way to the seeds more easily, so they wil...

Watering your seeds is one of the most important things you need to do when you just seeded your new lawn. While the process requires care through other avenues as well, using the right amount of water is probably the most essential aspect when it comes to facilitating proper growth and making sure that your grass seeds remain alive and healthy.  Even if you are planting a drought tolerant grass you still need to water the seed really good to initiate growth.   Contrary to what some people might believe, it is very possible to water your seeds too much. If you use too much water, it can actually kill them or at least make their growth extremely difficult. Grass seeds are uncommonly vulnerable during their first few weeks of growth, so you have to pay special attention during this time. Also, since they don’t yet use too much water – and especially when the soil has a clay-like quality to it that makes it retain more water than normal – a lot of water could end up unnecessa...

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 ...

Do you have a problem with rabbits? In many cases, you’d be justified to say yes, if rabbits are constantly attacking your garden and getting on your lawn. Keeping the lawn in perspective, you have to make sure that it remains healthy despite rabbits being pretty common in your area. Here are a few tips to keep them from causing brown patches on lawn on what to do about it:   The first thing you can do is get rid of any cover that rabbits might have. If the lawn is too exposed, they won’t go there, since they will want to be close to any bushes and trees that could offer extra cover. You can also add a barrier fence or an invisible fence to protect the lawn from rabbits and other pests. For rabbits alone, a barrier fence will be enough, as they won’t risk getting trapped inside the fence by jumping over it, especially if there already isn’t much cover from predators. Keep a dog in your yard. This is probably the easiest remedy, as dogs can quickly frighten rabbits and get th...

When planting seeds, you need to have the entire strategy of how to grow and make sure that your lawn is healthy using organic liquid fertilizer . Following are a few of the best recommendations for making that happen:   Prepare your soil in advance. A lot of homeowners don’t really think about their soil before they seed their lawn, so it can end up growing in a difficult spot where the grass doesn’t get proper nourishment or the pH of the soil presents greater difficulties. Use organic fertilizer. In many cases, there’s the dilemma of either investing in slightly more expensive, slow-release organic fertilizer, or rushing things with a cheap and potentially harmful variety. Always go with the healthier choice. Choose the right grass for your climate. Depending on where you live, you might need to choose cool grasses, warm climate grasses or a combination of the two. Determine how much water to allocate to your lawn every day and every week depending on the weather and the ...

When determining when you should seed your lawn, it’s important to note whether you need cool or warm season grass. This factor can be determined depending on where you live, as cooler states like Washington and Oregon will typically require cool season, while southern states like Texas and Florida need warm season grasses.   The transition area in the middle comprising states such as Kansas or Nevada will usually use a mixture of both, so if you live in this area, make sure you pay attention to the needs of both types of grass.   The rule of thumb is to seed cool season grasses in the fall making sure that you do it before air and soil temperatures fall below desirable levels, make sure to seed all the brown spots in grass , and water thoroughly. The best time is typically about a month and a half before the estimated date of the first fall frost.   As for warm season grasses, they have to be planted in the spring, once the soil temperature reaches a higher level a...
