To create a beautiful lawn in front of the house, you need not only to plant grass, but also to properly prepare the soil. After that, it is necessary to care for the sprouted greens, otherwise she will quickly buys.

Lawn in the country with your own hands

Initially, you need to choose the type of cover that wants to get a gardener. It is not necessary to plant only green grass. There are the following types of lawns:

• normal green carpet from field or mountain plants;
• meadow or Moorish type with a flowering layer;
• sports view that is well opposed to abrasion.

This choice depends on a lawn planting technology, watering, aeration, haircut and feeding.

Note! There is no general rules for breaking such a coating, but there are some principles of work when landing lawn.

People often are interested in when it is best to slow down the site purchased by seeds or sprouts. On average, these works occupy from 1 to 1.5 months. To start and finish to make a lawn at the cottage, it is better to choose time since the end of spring before the beginning of the autumn. Most often, gardeners begin to carry out such work since the end of May, and finish in early September. The main thing is that this period of time does not capture the winter.

Lawn grass

Seed seeds are better after the preparatory activities for breaking the lawn in the country. Most often, this is done in the summer, in mid-June, it can be transferred to this procedure and closer to autumn.

Soil preparation for seed landing

First spend marking of the future lawn. Clean it from weeds, garbage, align. The summer cottage is divided into squares, in one of which is planned to position a grassy carpet.

Note! It is necessary to carefully prepare for the specified work, as they subsequently eliminate the need for a weeding of embedded bushes and significantly simplify their haircut.

For independent holding of preparatory activities, it will be necessary from 7 to 30 days. If the farmer lives in the southern regions or middle lane of Russia, then you can begin work in the recent days of May. For residents of Siberia, this term shifts 1 month closer to autumn. The land must be well a fundamental, otherwise seedlings may die.

1. When laying a plot under the lawn you need Immediately lay the flower beds, paths or tracks. This uses a simple technology using the twine and pegs. It is not necessary to strive to give the lawn strict geometric forms, since the inhabited territories will harmoniously look in the absence of clear boundaries.
2. After that is carried out alignment of the site, eradicating pnenets (if any), removal of garbage and stones. If the soil is poor on minerals, nitrogen and phosphoric fertilizers contribute to it.
3. The right approach to K. the destruction of weeds and harmful insects It consists in the processing of the placeable place to the herbicides and drugs that kill pests. For these purposes, geotextiles are often used. It provides uniform coverage of the place selected under the lawn.

PREPARATION OF SUCH TO THE RESERON

After preliminary work, you can proceed to the creation of a herbal composition.

Step-by-step instructions for sowing lawn seeds

Before sowing the grass, you need to check the type of soil in the country. Well, when it fertures, can pass the air, to hold water. If this is not, then the soil is drunk, and then the superphosphate contributes to it.

In the country, these works will take from 3 to 7 days. We must pay attention to the following points:

1. with an increased acidity of the Earth - this parameter is due to the addition of chalk in the soil or hated lime;
2. when sowing in the spring - the main emphasis is done on nitrogen fertilizers, and if the grass sowing is moved closer to autumn, the superphosphate is used;
3. after that, the land is bass and watered;
4. rolled the entire area with a special roller, the mass of which can fluctuate in the range of 50-100 kg.

When these works are completed, they are waiting for another 4-5 days, and then the weeds appear.

How to sow lawn grass with your own hands:

1. Initially, they divide the entire territory of the future lawn on equal sidelines. Then the purchased seeds are distributed to the marked areas.
2. Before sowing the grass, it is necessary to spray water to the ground using a special nozzle on the hose. The soil should become slightly wet and sufficiently loose.
3. When sowing lawn grass, the dacket itself determines. Experts recommend to do this operation in a sunny, a windless day. The selected seeds are manually scattered on the ground at first along the territory, and then across.
4. The gardeners often have questions about what to do if summer rainy, how to sow lawn grass. It is recommended to transfer this process closer to autumn.
5. After the selected plot was found, it is treated with French robbles. At the same time, the seeds fall asleep with soil, and then all rolled the roller for the soil seal. Then water all the water from the hose with the nozzle.

After the grass sowed to the lawn appeared, you need to follow its development. For this, emerging weeds are regularly removed, the earth is moisturized, they cut the young grass:

1. The first shoots appear after 14 days. When they grow up to 10 cm, they must be taken carefully.
2. The irrigation of the site is carried out with a sprayer. The land must be soaked in moisture by 5 cm. It is necessary to strengthen the roots of the sown grass.

Important! The lawn care must be regular, otherwise the plants will die quickly.

What to choose: Seeds or Rolled Lawn

It is necessary to consider that the seeds are cheaper than rolls. In the first case, you will have to independently sow a plot, and when using the finished lawn, it includes its installation. For independent work, it is best to choose the seeds of the field, ricon, oatmeal and mint.

Seeds of Polevitsy

When selecting herbs, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• germination;
• resistance to external mechanical loads;
• the presence of immunity to various infections;
• frost resistance and ability to carry heat.

By purchasing rolls need to know their advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits:

• unpretentiousness and ease of operation;
• ready carpets are well suited to arrange uneven areas.

The disadvantage of rolls is considered only their high price.

To get the desired area decoration in the form of a green lawn, you need:

• initially, choose the right place for sowing grass in the country;
• then pick up suitable seeds;
• after that, carefully prepare a place to process;
• it is not humanity to water the soil before seeding seeds, otherwise they will stick together;
• a new lawn once in 20 days to cut and irrigate by means of a sprayer;
• do not wait for results throughout the year, since the normal lawn is obtained only 24 months after sowing.

Any novice farmer must decide for itself, use seeds or purchase a finished coating. If the first option is preferable, then you need to carefully fulfill all the instructions of the specialists, otherwise all work will go to the pump.

Beautiful, well-groomed lawn near the house - this picture pleases not only look. Emerald grass emphasizes architectural solutions, highlights flower beds, Rabata, Alpine slides. To make a lawn with your own hands, it is necessary not so much time, but to know how to do it correctly, it is necessary.

The basis of almost all lawns - grass. It has different species, with different characteristics, different color. In the context of the climate of the middle strip of Russia, not all of them feel well. Because if you are going to buy a ready mix, pay attention to the zoning: on the first wintering risks to lose the entire lawn.

Especially careful need to be with a ricon. He quickly boils, creates a thick beautiful carpet, but it doesn't tolerate frost and in our climate will freeze. Buying a ready-made grass, look at her composition: the ricon should be a bit. If it gets freezing, it will not be much harm.

When sow grass

You can search for grass from May 1 to August 15. In the spring crop, the consumption of seeds on the square square increases slightly (by 10-15%). So you will quickly get a beautiful lawn and the fastener will go faster in the winter. Due to the high density of the plant will begin to compete with each other and weak will be ousted. Until autumn live only strong.

When sowing in the summer, stick to the rate of consumption. Due to the lack of time, weak plants will not have time to force out, but everyone will be weakened by this struggle. Therefore, good care is important for summer lawns.

What is the best lawn grass

The most beautiful color and thick height of oatmeal and mint. Their greenery gentle and emerald. When creating a partent lawn, they are used by them. But for other types of lawns, for which they will not go, they cannot be used: they will quickly get off. On such lawns, it is more often sowing a field of different varieties. Not so gentle, it is well tolerate some degree of load.

For shadow lawns, oatmeal is more suitable. But even she will not grow in a deep and constant shadow. Sulti light - the base of photosynthesis. And at least some time the lawn should be covered.

Types of lawn

We are accustomed to the fact that the lawn is necessarily the grass covering the soil. It may be arranged, Rabata, and other decorative elements. This is not quite so. There are also at least three varieties of flowering lawns. They are undoubtedly more decorative, but walking on them is unlikely to succeed.

Flowering lawns

Their base is cereals, but significantly "diluted" perennial or annual blooming plants. They are chosen so that the bloom has passed the entire season of vegetation - from mid-spring to late autumn. Depending on which plants are part of, there are three types of flowering lawns.

Meadow

Already by the name it is clear that the composition of the plants that can be seen on the present meadow. Only rarely in full and in a rigidly measured proportion. Traditional inhabitants of the meadow, like clover, chamomile, daisy, coins, millennium, yarrow and other blooming or decorative plants are added to the cereals. Despite the abundance of basic flowers - herbs.

Meadow lawn is distinguished by high decorativeness. At different times, different plants bloom and the view is constantly changing, the palette changes

It is clear that you will not be able to mow such beauty, but one or twice the season for updating and rejuvenation you have to cut. Perennial plants, because with proper watering rapidly restore decorativeness. Saws around the whole area is not always appropriate, but some zones are very pleased.

Mauritanian

It is distinguished by the fact that flowers are used annuals. Therefore, such a lawn is not cut at all. The cereals pick down the lowest, their smaller than the colors. In Moorish lawn, flowers dominate. And in height and by quantity (see photos).

So the Mauritan lawn looks like - the riot of paints the whole season

They are selected so that the flowering is as long as possible. Usually as part of Mac-Samoki, Vasilek, Calendula, Matiola, Leng Color, Eshololization and other bright annuals.

Non-naughty

This is a completely unusual lawn according to the composition consisting of soil plants. Summit them into the open ground - the case is unpromising, growing seedlings - long, and buy ready - expensive. Therefore, a non-tax lawn is growing not one year and not two: plant plant in a small amount, waiting for them until they grow up. Such a lawn is the most difficult: the results of labor are visible only in a few years, but the efforts are worth it.

Herbal lawns

In the view of a non-specialist, various types of lawns from the grass are almost the same: can slightly different color. But besides the different shade of greenery, they have different characteristics: one can go, according to others, it is contraindicated, a sowing rate is different, a different care is different. Naturally, different herbs with different characteristics are used.

Ordinary

The most resistant to pull-out, on it can be walking. The herbs are selected with tough, coarsely cooked. But it is easier for him to care, it is less likely to pour out, some missions that do often are not visible with independent sowing. Ordinary lawn is an excellent choice for giving.

Parterial

This is one of the most decorative and front lawns. Differs in high decorativeness, herbs are selected gentle, beautiful colors. Herbage is low and thick, with proper care it looks just gorgeous. Such lawns are arranged in open places, but where no one will go there: too soft cereals will not stand such a load. Therefore, the parter lawn (see photos) is sown where only along the paths go.

Parter's lawn is one of the most decorative and "elegant"

Special

Sit down on the slopes. As part of its herbs, having an extensive root system capable of keeping the soil from washing. The decorativeness of such a coating is medium, but it performs its main purpose well. A special lawn can be planted on the slope leading to the river or lake, if such is on your site.

Sports

The mixture is more complicated - in addition to traditional grades of cereals, special, more resistant to abrasion. The decorativeness of the sports lawn is not the main characteristic, therefore even well-groomed, it looks much worse than the ordinary and, moreover, the partner. But it has a very high resistance to abrasion.

Due to the use of special herbs, its value is higher, harder to care. Therefore, to sow such a mixture are those zones that will be actively operated: the playground for games, the zone where they will actively walk - near the gazebo, the playground,. The rest of the area is most often discharged to an ordinary lawn.

Better sow sports lawn

Natural

For this type of coating, mixtures are not bought, do not conduct any work. Just cut those herbs that are. Most often, the natural lawn leaves in the garden: it protects the soil from drying well, and the requirements for decorativeness here are not very high. Too large plants that do not fit into the desired picture are deleted manually. The rest in the process of haircuts are becoming smaller, forming a turin of different colors.

How to make a beautiful lawn

The growing of the lawn consists of several stages:

• The preparation of the soil is the removal of weeds, if necessary, adjust the acidity and increase in fertility.
• Sowing grass, regular watering.
• First haircut. It is carried out after the grass will reach a certain size.
• Regular care and periodic haircut.

In the process, you will have to follow the humidity of the soil and timely remove weeds, time from time to time to feed, hurry up properly, which may appear after the breathtaking summer or too harsh winter. This is brief, all the technology of growing lawn, and then in detail on points.

Preparation of soil

The first thing to be done is to evaluate soil fertility. If the ground clay or loam, the grass will not grow normally on it. You will have to carry out serious soil preparation. There are two options: fall asleep the area from top view of fertile soil or remove the soil and to fall asleep the earth into the resulting kitty.

It is easier, naturally just fall asleep, but it is not always possible to realize: the layer of the Earth in this case should be about 20 cm. Raising the lawn for such height - not the most reasonable solution: There will be problems with water allocation, high well-fortified borders are required, and external The view is strange. Therefore, clay soils are often removed to a depth of 15-20 cm, and then the land will be taken into the resulting pit.

If you have chosen the second option, you can sit on the bottom of the bottom. He will not give to germinate through it, and you will not have problems with weeding.

If the soil is normal, the preparation of the soil under the lawn grass is not so complicated. First remove all weeds. This can be done with mechanical chopping and / or hands, you can use herbicides. They are bred according to the instructions, water the place of the future lawn. After a few days, the vegetation is yellow and dry out, it is removed. Simultaneously with weeds, they remove stones, roots, other fragments that can interfere with the growth of the horse system.

The next step is to check the soil acidity. Almost all herbs included in lawn blends grow well on neutral soils. If you want to have a beautiful lawn, you will have to adjust its acidity. Therefore, in the store for gardeners and gardeners, find a set to determine the acidity of the soil and check which soil on your site. It is just a Lacmus paper that needs to be put on the soil, wait until it is painted and on the color chart existing on the packaging, determine the acidity of your soil. If the soil is acidic, add lime if alkaline reaction - scatter the crushed peat. Next step by step. Simultaneously with loosening, remove those stones and the roots that will get out.

On wetlands in order to grow a beautiful lawn, it is necessary to create normal conditions for water removal

The next step is the addition of a fertile layer. A fertile loose and light soil is called and is distributed throughout the plot with a flat layer of 6-10 cm thick. The layer is spacing first with shovels, then robbles. At the same time, it is desirable to form a light bias towards the fence: so you will not have problems with the transmission of the lawn in the shower: water will be drained from the site. Blind make minimal - 1 cm per meter or one and a half. This is quite enough to ensure the outflow of water, and it will not be noticeably noticeable.

Soil preparation for lawn - River rake

One Council: Bridal Earth contains roots, stones, branches, etc. To remove them, it is sifted through a large grid (as they do during construction when sand is sieved). And the sifted is already delivered over the site.

The next step in the arrangement of the lawn with your own hands is a rambling or tool. It allows you to compact the soil, and when a person does not occupy a lawn, the soil under the foot is not presented, but remains smooth. Also, this process allows you to identify irregularities that will necessarily appear as a result of all land work.

If there is no special rink, it can be made from a piece of asbestos or iron pipe. Inside the pipes, they make the rod, cling to it the handles (even just tied the rope). You made everything rink for lawn with your own hands. Now it is dragging it on the site, the rambling the soil until it can not fall on it.

Radio Radine - an important stage that allows you to reveal irregularities. To do this, use a lawn roller (or make it from a pipe, barrels)

With a radius of the lawn, pants and pits will be shown. From the humps of surplus removing, we fall asleep pits. Aligning so the surface, we take the gasket and pass the plot again. To get a perfectly smooth surface, you can take a long board and stretch it together along the plot, cutting off the face of irregularities. Or make a device from two boards - as in the photo below. They can work alone.

Preparation of a plot under the lawn turns into a thorough alignment of the soil

Making fertilizers

You can make fertilizers at several stages (one of them). In principle, if you are on top to normal soil, pour 6-10 cm imported, fertilizer can not be used. But for more active growth - you can add:

• after the imported soil has been scattered over the site and before aligning with robbles;
• if fertilizers are used in dry form, you can mix them with seeds;
• dilute and pour the soil.

The most optimal way is watering. It guarantees a more even distribution of nutrients. But with this way rarely who wants to bother himself, except for. The remaining two are equivalent. It is more convenient to make together with the seeds: it takes less time.

Squeeze grass

Previously, it is necessary to break the rammed land slightly rumble. Just walk light robbles, slightly shry up the top layer. Now you can save grass.

Buy a seeder that costs about $ 200-300 for one-time application is unlikely reasonable, therefore you spend the seeds for the lawn in the bucket, and the old Dedovsky method is scattered on the surface: take a handful and skipping gradually through your fingers, scatter more or less evenly. Those who wish at least some mechanization, you can offer two options for the simplest seeders for lawn grass, which are easy to make with your own hands. This is a tin or plastic bottle in which holes made holes (see photo).

So that it does not work so that in one corner thick, and in the other - empty, preferably a plot and seeds are divided into parts. Seed consumption is specified for each mixture. What is the area of \u200b\u200bthe sowing site, you can estimate in place and measure the amount that you need to scatter. For those who make the lawn in the country with their own hands for the first time, it is better to divide the measured quantity into two equal parts and pass the site first along, and then across. So the seeds will be distributed more evenly.

After sowing, seeds need to close the Earth. For this there are two ways:

• Going around the site by rake, trying to pour out the seeds of the earth. This method is less reliable - many remain outside, poultry scream them, and the germination worsens.
• From above sprinkled with the remnants of the land. The layer is 3-5 mm. All seeds are covered with the ground, are in the best conditions, shoots are better.

Watering and waiting

It is necessary to water the lawn depending on the conditions: the soil should not dispel, but also should not be very wet. Water should not beat a big jet, there should be no stream or puddle. Stream break into small jetings: Install the sprinkler or raincoat if you water the manual on the hose to the nozzle. In the photo above you will see several options that will help solve the problem of watering. They are sold in stores.

There are also a few homemade variants of sprinklers for watering lawn. In most of them, this is a plastic bottle with holes done in it connected with a watering hose. She can lie and irrigate the surrounding area. If the pressure in the system is enough, you can bind it to the column. In this case, the area of \u200b\u200bwatering will be greater. Splashes for watering the lawn do it yourself very simple. Look at the photo.

Another way to get small splashes: in the segment of the plastic pipe to do holes or make a thin cut. It is necessary or thin jets, or a fan (in the photo on the right below).

Why do water need to sprinkle? Because for the normal development of the root system, the soil must be wet (but not wet) to a depth of about 6-10 cm. If it is simply filled from above, it will be only worse: the water displaces oxygen and the roots have nothing to breathe. So splashing or is the best way to watering the lawn.

Seven or ten days the first shoots appear. They are still rare, but do not be upset. Just jammed only the seeds of some varieties, whose shoots appear quickly. The rest germinate later. With proper care after 20-30 days, the height of the herbage reaches 10-15 cm. At this time, the first deficiency must be carried out. Leave for the first time about 5 cm of height. With such a height, the grass will grow actively. After another 10-12 days, it will again be a height of about 12 cm. Now you can crop the grass shorter - leaving 3-3.5 cm.

How to care for lawn grass

The main care is timely watering, weed removal and periodic haircut. If you watered to sprinkle, in the soil there will be enough oxygen and plants should develop normally.

Problems with disadvantage of oxygen may occur after long-standing heavy rainstones when water is puddles on the plot or irregular watering with the same result. Then the aeration of lawn is necessary. To do this, use a rink similar to the one that was used during the tillage of the soil, but there is an island that skews the turf. Through these punctures, oxygen enters the soil, the plants begin to grow better.

Anyone is nice to not only look at the soft green lawn, but also sit on it. Especially love to run in green grass children. Lawn, which is planted and grown correctly, can serve for a very long time.

Selection of lawn grass seeds

How to grow a beautiful green lawn? First you need to choose a suitable sowing material. Manufacturers offer a wide range of ready-made compositions for sowing lawns. For example, it may be a lawn sports or for family holidays. Deciding, how to plant a lawn with your own hands, it is important to pay attention to the composition of the lawn mixture. Seeds must be adapted for the local climate.

An alternative to the lawn - a low flowering rug rugs soil with thin creeping stems, rooting "mustes" up to 70 cm long. Yellow flowers are revealed in May - August: the lawn with a palmist looks beautiful and bright. It should be noted that the plant needs to be restricted.

Sound-level geranium large-corneed - unpretentious and drought resistant. It forms a dense, closed thicket up to 30 cm high with bright purple or reddish flowers (June-July).

A melted cuff carpet has a height of up to 40 cm in the sun and in a half, lush blooms with yellow inflorescences (June-August). It grows well on rocky and peat soil, can clog the site.

What period for planting grass is the best?
Spring

Any lawn grass is quite intensively developing. Having putting it in the spring, the dacket already in the same season will receive a full-fledged "green carpet".

The possibility of "adjustment" of lawn, the operational detection and elimination of the mistakes made during its formation. All shortcomings (for example, the uneven planting of seeds) will immediately be visually noticeable, as soon as the first sprouts will be crossed.

Many gardeners argue that the lawn grass, sown in the fall, grows more juicy and friendly.

In the autumn period, seed seeds in two ways:

In early September. Hying the grass in the initial fall, you need to wait for it when it goes, and then process it before the upcoming winter.

Late in the fall / first November days. In this case, the seeds are driving into an already frozen land, and thus overlooking in the soil, they pass natural stratification, they receive immunity from most diseases. It makes no sense to plant a lawn in October, because the grass will have time to climb, but the roots will not be strengthened, because of this they will have little chance of successful wintering.

Lawn grass in summer, the ideal time is the end of summer. During this period, several factors that guarantee good results are very successfully coincided. This is an excellent degree of earth warming and its optimal humidity. In addition, at this time the weeds are no longer so active as at the beginning of the season. Yes, and the grass will have time to get into and strengthen before the onset of frosts. As you can see, sow the lawn grass in the summer is a good idea.

When landing the lawn can be used by one type of seeds or grass. What kind of type of seeds or their combination is used, and determines the density of the disembarkation of lawn grass. On average, it is 30-50 g. On m2. For one weaving it is 5 kilograms of seeds or grass. At the same time, it was taken into account that sowing can be made not quite perfect.

If you plan to produce manually, without a seeder, then it is still better to add percent of the seed from the total. If you shake and take less sowing material, then shoots will be rare and there is a danger that weeds will score grass. It is also desirable to take some sowing material for the repair and subsection of lawn in the future.

Selecting a place for lawn grass

The choice of lawn space requires certain knowledge of some properties of plants. In particular, biological and chemical processes occurring in the root system of predecessors of future lawn grass should be taken into account.

Before embarking on the sowing of lawn grass, it is necessary to decide on the place where the lawn will be located. This place must be primarily available for mowing. There should be no inconvenience during the care of the grass, the lawn mower should be easily located to all areas of lawn. For these reasons, it is recommended to place a lawn where fewer trees and shrubs are not at all.

Preparation of a plot before landing lawn grass

Before switching to the preparation of the soil, you should spend a vertical layout and perform all the work related to the laying of engineering networks, planting large trees and drainage device. When planting plants, please note that the root cervix is \u200b\u200bplugged to the grass levels planned for the future lawn.

Drainage work can not be avoided if the snow in the spring, when the snow comes down, or water is stared up after heavy rains. The drains are purified from fertile soil, fall asleep 10 - 15 cm of broken bricks or gravel, tamping this layer, then placed and seal the sand layer with a thickness of approximately 10 cm. On top of the sand, up to 15 cm of fertile soil are poured over the sand and roll it with a rink.

Immediately before sowing seeds, the soil must be tamped by a manual roller (weighing 100-150 kg). The soil can be tamped and its own weight, replacing the roller of a big board: shift it all over the area of \u200b\u200bthe site and, often crossing, go through it from one end to another.

Tip: Tamper the plot under the lawn only in dry weather on dry soil.

During the rammed soil, it is impossible to walk. If you need to go through the plot, bring small planks to your feet (like short skis).

In dry weather 2-3 days before sowing, the area must be poured.

Soil preparation for lawn grass

The soil under the lawn is prepared after the drainage structure, work can be started with autumn. The land is thoroughly spilling with robbles and hooked. To do this, they are tied to the shoes trimming a wide board or tile and passed along the entire surface, putting the legs close one to the other, at each step completely carrying the body weight. The drowning lawn will not collapse, lie under the legs.

Lime and mineral fertilizers can be made immediately before sowing herbs.

Lawns are sown preferably in the spring, less often - early autumn. Sometimes applying the sowing - with such a calculation so that the seeds rose early in the spring. With the provisional irrigation, it is possible to sit in the lawn in summer. However, spring sowing is preferable to all other.

Pumping land for lawn grass

This one of the time-consuming stages on the way of creating a beautiful green lawn and the most necessary procedure is soil resistance. The depth of the rejected soil should be approximately 20-25 cm, and if there is a small fertile layer, the feeding of nutrient soil should be paid.

Making fertilizers for lawn grass

During the soil resistance, the lawn should take care of the introduction of a complex of mineral fertilizers at the rate of 25-30 grams per meter square. It is better to give preference to a compost, but in no case it is not recommended to put fresh manure into the soil, which may be the main cause of the intensive growth of weeds.

Caring for lawn

The care of the lawn includes watering, haircut grass, edge treatment, aeration, surface leveling, moss, moss and pest pests. Our articles about the care of lawn and photography (they increase) will help you achieve the desired healthy and lining view of your green lawn.

- Regular watering to maintain humidity and soil structure;

- feedstocks to enrich the soil with nutritional compounds, activate the processes of the rustling and preventing the exhaustion of herb after the mowing;

- haircut of lawn grass on the installed height to give the lawn of an attractive appearance;

- cleaning of fallen leaves and Padalitsa (if there are trees on the lawn).

FEATURES OF WERING RAGON HERM

The correct irrigation of the lawn is one of the main important conditions for its creation and preservation of herbs thick, green and juicy. The rains and groundwater are not able to provide a sufficiently to provide lawn and other green areas with water in the hot season, so it must be provided with a full irrigation.

When to water? Experts recommend starting watering lawns when the soil is dry at a depth of 10 cm. However, in practice, it is difficult to follow this advice - after all you will not, in fact, to dig the soil of the lawn every time to determine the depth of its drying! Therefore, the main type of grass is served as the main landmark. If the grass on the lawn began to fill up, acquired a grayish hue and lost elasticity - it is necessary to start watering.

How much to water? Depending on the degree of drying of the soil and its mechanical composition when watering on each square meter of the lawn, it is recommended to pour from 10 to 20 liters of water.

How often to water the lawn should be determined depending on the weather in the summer. With arid and hot summer, watering is produced up to four times a week. If the season was rainy, then just once.

Haircut of lawn

When choosing the best moment of the lawn haircut, you should pay attention to the weather and the time of day. It is impossible to carry out the hot dry day, so the cuts of the leaves in the sun quickly yellow and dried, which will worsen the appearance.

The very first mowing of a young lawn is carried out when the height of young cereals reaches 11-12 cm, it is cut off only the tops - not more than 1.5-2 cm.

a solving how often the lawn is often affected by such factors such as climatic features and specific weather conditions, functional requirements. The haircut is performed every 7-10 days, sometimes every two weeks, as soon as the grass exceeds the desired height by 2-4 cm.

During periods of drought, plants grow less actively, so the haircut is carried out less often. During active vegetation (in summer) under favorable conditions, the grass will have twice a week.

It seems to many that there can be no difficulties in growing grass. But this concerns only weed plants, they really grow on themselves. And in order to get a beautiful herbal lawn, you have to work, in this case there are certain subtleties. We will understand how to plant the lawn grass with your own hands, and what care to provide it.

When to plant lawn grass

Landing lawn grass can be made in spring, summer and autumn. Consider the positive and negative sides of each of these periods. Spring the spring grass is recommended in the last decade of April - early May. Such deadlines have their advantages:

1. The soil by this time is quite wet and no longer murdered.
2. We manage to climb the first weeds, and it will be possible to get rid of them before sowing lawn grass, applying herbicidal drugs.
3. By the end of the season, the grass will be strengthened, even survives several missions. You will be able to detect errors, and if somewhere left properly, then put the seeds.
4. In the spring, it is already quite warm, and with a good germination of seeds, you can admire the young green lawn in a month after sowing.
5. By the winter period, such a lawn will be strengthened and well-rooted, easily suffer frosts.

The disadvantage of the spring plant is that the prepared soil may not have time to stand out. That is why experts recommend to prepare the plot under the winter, and sow seeds in the spring.

Some believe that planting lawn grass is better in June, as the soil is already very warm. In addition, if the preparation of the site was carried out in the spring, the soil will have time to settle, detecting errors in alignment.

You can sow the lawn and in the second half of the summer (July - the beginning of August), but in this case it all depends on the region. In areas where cold comes early, there is a risk that the grass will not have time to grow. In addition, the insufficient amount of miseivans will not give to form a homogeneous surface. Part of the plants can freeze and do not rise in the spring, and then you will have to sow a lawn.

As for the autumn period, there are two options for planting lawn grass. A good time for regions with moderate winters is the beginning of September, it is necessary to carefully prepare a plot carefully. The lawn grass in the fall time does not only be ascertained, but also grow to the height of the first haircut (about 10 cm). Thanks to the mocking, the lawn will strengthen and at such a stage perfectly pumps under the snow in the regions with moderate winter.

The second option is to sing a plot of seeds under the winter (at the end of October), after making fertilizer soil. The grass will no longer have time to grow, but the seeds will pass stratification, it is harnessed and extended in the spring. But in this case, it is necessary to take into account the features of the region. If the second half of the autumn is warm, the plants will begin to break through (at temperatures above + 5 ° C), and the sharp attack of the colds will destroy them.

Where to begin

The arrangement of the lawn starts from planning a suitable place in the country and markup, while it is necessary to take into account the general plan of the site and landscape style (if it is already formed). Then, on the designated territory, we begin to remove weeds. If there are too many of them, the site must be treated with herbicides. As soon as weighing plants ship and dried, proceed to the general cleaning of the territory. Everything is removed - dried grass, stumps and roots of solid trees, branches, stones, construction trash and unnecessary shrubs.

Preparation of the site

Now the purified site must be switched. This is one of the most difficult stages. Do not neglect the rescope, if you want to get a really healthy and beautiful lawn. Depending on the soil structure there are two options: simple (or single-tier) peroxide. Only the top layer of the soil on the bayonet shovels is affected (if it is heavy, you can take advantage of too). This method is suitable when you know exactly that in the area normal drainage and earlier the Earth was cultivated.

For example, one-tier resistance is enough if the lawn is divided on the site of the old flower beds or the garden. Bunk Pumping. It will be required on sites that have not been plowing for a long time. With this method, the upper layer of the soil is removed and disappeared to the side, and the bottom explodes with the help of Kirk or Vil. With such a peopling, it would be good to add manure either a surge compost.

Soil on the plot needs feeding. If it has increased acidity, add chalk or haired lime. Heavy and clay soil are loosened with a humorier or compost. And, of course, mineral fertilizers: spring nitrogen, summer and autumn - potash and phosphate.

The prepared area is given 1-2 weeks to stand up to soil donkey. After that, carefully inspect from all sides the territory of the future lawn for irregularities, otherwise, when the grass grows, it will be seen that the lawn is uneven. It is necessary to crush the bumps, fall asleep with the soil of the depressions and go well through the entire area of \u200b\u200brobbles. The finally prepared territory is rocked by a garden rink.

We need drainage

If the lawn is divided into a wetland or clay prevails in the soil, without drainage it is not necessary. In this case, when preparing the site, three layers must be made. At first, a broken brick (saman or ceramic), tile, gravel, stones are covered with a thickness of 10 to 15 cm.

Silicate brick for the improvement of drainage is unsuitable - under the action of moisture, it quickly destroys and changes the chemical composition of the soil.

Then form the same in the thickness of the layer of small dropping of rubble or sand. And only after that the fertile soil is placed.

How to choose grassmes

What to choose the grass for planting lawn depends on its functional purpose, the illumination of the site, climatic conditions:

• the sports field should be well transferred mechanical damage and pulling out (the red and meadow fester will be suitable, meadow mint, long-term riches);
• the lawn for children's games should be soft, so it is better to search for his teams, different types of clover, meadow Timofeevka;
• the decorative coating should look exquisitely, for its arrangement, sheep is used with sheep oatmeal, a random fire, a closing pool.

A good option for creating a background with other landscaped elements is a Canadian lawn grass. When evounced, it is unpretentious, grows on any basis, care for it is simple. "Canada Green" retains its greens even under snow cover and does not give to germinate by weed plants. If you want to form a bright flowering lawn, choose Moorish lawn grass. Beautiful low-spirited lawn create from white clover, Corsican mint, anise and crawling thyme (chablie).

Technology Sowing

The technology of planting the lawn is no difference. The main rule - there must be windless weather to ensure a uniform distribution of seeds around the site.

Most of the seeds of lawn grass is no special preparation for sowing required. Only in some plants (bonfireless, high rags, meadow mint) seeds have thin hairs, which they are connected to each other, form lumps and lose ramp - to restore properties they are treated at home on a grater.

Two days before sowing, the area is watered to land seeds in a slightly moistened land.

If the territory of the future lawn is large, then without a special seeder can not do. In small areas you can sow manually. Herzhane is shrinking in the sand (there are equal proportions), stirred carefully and scattered throughout the area. Such mixing allows you to achieve the uniformity of the distribution.

Sow in two directions: along the plot, then across. Then the soil is loose and rolled with a roller so that the seeds are not separated by the wind gusts, and preferably sprinkle with peat (layer in 1 cm will be enough). The final stage is watering a plot from the hose with a small spray.

Care rules

And now a small instruction on how to care for the planted lawn: the main thing is to ensure the correct and timely irrigation - it is necessary to use a small sprayer to use a powerful water jet to wash herbal roots while they are still weak. Water daily early in the morning and in the evening, but not only in the dining scammer. The lawn, sown "under the winter," do not watered - the seeds should take the spring. When growing grass up to 6-10 cm, they produce the first haircut, the exception is the Mauritan (blooming) lawn.

Subsequently coars every 2-3 weeks (the frequency depends on the type of lawn and the varieties of planted plants). Twice the soil season needs aeration. The upper layer is pierced by special devices, due to which the normal exchange of atmospheric and soil air is ensured.

Three times during the season, the lawn must be filing. The first time in the late spring makes drugs containing nitrogen and phosphorus - they contribute to the rapid growth of green mass, as well as strengthening and developing roots. To improve the color and growth of grass, in summer feed with nitric fertilizers (you can not do this if the season is not too dry, with moderate temperature). Inventing the fall of potash fertilizers will give the grass resistance to winter cold.

Possible problems

It happens that the young grass is badly growing and loses a bright color. Most likely, in the soil there is not enough nutrients, and therefore, it is necessary to feed nitrogen-containing fertilizers. Perhaps the appearance of weeds if the site was not carefully cleaned at the preparatory stage, that is, they will have to dig them manually.

The appearance of cracks on the lawn speaks of a scarce watering. To eliminate them, it is necessary to hide a damaged area and inspired by adding a few grassmes to the mulch. The yellowing and dying of grass testifies to fungal or viral diseases - the entire lawn may die. It is necessary to immediately treat the focus with special drugs, such as Fundazole.

We hope that you will succeed in sowing the lawn with your own hands. He will take it, will not hurt and for many years will delight the eyes with a beautiful bright view and nice to tick the heels.

Anyone is nice to not only look at the soft green lawn, but also sit on it. Especially love to run in green grass children. Lawn, which is planted and grown correctly, can serve for a very long time. But sometimes there is such a situation that, subject to all the rules and instructions, it is not possible to achieve the desired attractiveness of lawn. Why does this happen and how to put the lawn with your own hands so that he pleased the eye? We will try to figure it out.

Selection of lawn grass seeds

To create the right lawn with your own hands, it follows correctly select sowing material. Be sure to consider, for what purpose the lawn will be used, because there are different grassmes or herbs. To grow a beautiful lawn use the following types of herbs:

• mattik meadow;
• mattik ordinary;
• riographs ordinary;
• fescue;
• wilderness;
• clover creeping;
• festulolium;

When choosing seeds should be taken into account time sowing. Different types of herbs have different frost resistance and growth rates. For example, Matlik in the first years is growing pretty slow. Also, when choosing seeds, you need to take into account the height of the planned lawn in the country, the quality of the turf, etc. For various grassmes, different soil is requiredThey are able to differ as a seeding rate and many other characteristics.

What period for planting grass is the best?

When to plant grass for lawn - in spring or autumn? It is possible to sow grass on the plot at any time, starting with spring and ending with autumn frosts. The main thing is not to reach the point when the snow falls. There is no consensus on when planting lawn. Some gardeners are confident that the grass is best closed, if it was planted in May, others believe that fast results give summer sowing, according to third, lawn grass, you need to search for autumn months to have a thick green cover for the next season.

Many gardeners prefer sowing precisely in the fallSo it is believed that from under the snow in the spring grass is very friendly. But when to sow lawn grass in the fall? It is necessary to do this or in early September so that the plants will take to climb to frosts and they could be treated before wintering, or in the already frozen land before establishing snow cover - in this case, the seeds for the winter will be stratification, will be resistant to disease and in the spring.

Sowing spring is also popular, but, according to experienced specialists, the optimal time for the sowing of the lawn is the end of summer. At this time, the soil is already well funded and moistened, weeds are much smaller than in the spring, and the seeds manage to germinate and root to the onset of frost. Sowing in the spring, although it provides a beautiful lawn, but care for it is much more complicated, because it is required regular watering and constant removal of weeds.

How to calculate the number of seeds?

To calculate the singeings of grassmes for a certain kind of herbs that are included in its composition, apply a special formulaand the results are summarized. The seed seed rate (kg / ha) must be multiplied by the percentage of the amount of this type in the mixture and divided into the actual shelf life of seeds. As practice shows to heat the lawn grass with high quality, you need to increase the consumption of seeds 2 - 3 times.

If you need to sow only one kind of grass, then it is necessary to follow the rate of seeding the selected culture. On average, the flow rate of lawn grass on 1m2 is 30 - 50 grams.

Choosing a place

Sowing lawn grass begins with the choice of place. Herzesmes can be planted almost anywhere on their plot. Suitable:

• horizontal surface;
• the sun;
• shadow;
• sucks;
• clay and sandy soils.

In each particular case, there will be only the amount of physical and material efforts that are required to plant and grow beautiful and green lawn. Herzesmes are best planted in a sunny place where the rain and melt waters will not be stood.

Before you begin seeding, it is advisable to think about the scheme of the future lawn and even sketch it. It will be necessary to decide whether to leave the trees on the site, grow individual flowers or arrange the flower beds. We need to decide in advance with the placement of landscape design elements, because difficulties with a haircut of grown lawn grass may appear.

If a lawn mower will be used, then when crops, it is possible to leave a distance of one meter between it and fences, walls or borders for convenience. Also, you should not squeeze the grass under a lone shrub or tree.

Preparation of the site

Before sowing the grass, you need to clean the site from weeds and align it. Such a thorough preparation helps to save subsequently from the weeding and facilitates the haircut of the growing lawn. To prepare a plot, it is necessary from 1 to 4 weeks.

The plot should be treated with a general-action herbicide. The seats of the cottages that are strongly overgrown with weeds must be processed in several techniques. When the grass will appear and buys, then the site is necessary to free from garbage, roots of shrubs, dried herbs, after which it is aligned. If the soil is poor and needs to make a fertile soil, then it is possible to get rid of the weeds from the weeds, bypassing the area of \u200b\u200bthe lawn geotextile. Thanks to this nonwoven canvas, the weed seeds will not be able to germinate and the lawn grass will not interfere.

Preparation of soil

Before sowing the lawn, you need to lay favorable conditions for the friendly and rapid appearance of grass seedlings and its further growth. The need to make fertilizers depends on the type of soil. If it is acidic, then it needs to be made of haired lime or chalk, and clay areas with severe and dense soil are loosened with a motorway or biohumus.

At the same time, mineral fertilizers should be made. If sowing spring, then focus on nitrogen fertilizer, which causes a rapid grass growth, and in the fall to relieve wintering seeds make more potassium and phosphorus.

Soil and additives should be evenly distributed throughout the site, after which the soil is fluffy and slightly moistened. The lented area is rolled with a special rink. If they suddenly be detected irregularities and pits, they are plugged or cut off, and then rolled again. As soon as the soil is aligned, it should break.

How to sow lawn grass with your own hands?

Before planting lawn, it should be mentally divided into several identical sites. Seeds should be divided into the same number of parts, it is necessary so that the seeds are evenly rushed.

How to sow lawn grass right with your own hands? Seeds should be close in the soil at a depth of 1 - 1.5 cm. First, they need to scatter along, and then across. It helps seeds to lie evenly. If there is such an opportunity, you can use a manual seeder. It is much more convenient, but manually can be planted to plant a lawn. So that the wind did not take the seeds, they should be sprinkled with a centimeter layer of peat and roll. After that, the squeezed lawn is watered from a watering can or hose with a small sprayer. Watering should be moderately, otherwise the soil can overvolt.

Caring for lawn

Behind the lawn, you need to properly care, otherwise it will fade and tarnish. Haircut and watering play a big role in this process.

Features of watering

Immediately after sowing grass, if the soil is dry, you need to carefully pour a plot weak pressureOtherwise, seeds can wash. Watering in the future should be regular, but it is necessary to take into account the weather conditions.

It is necessary to water the lawn and after the haircut so that it recovered, acquired a neat look and a saturated color. Experts are recommended to water the lawn in the evenings.

A haircut

The lawn haircut is required to support it in properly. In addition, this is a good way to combat weeds and stimulating vegetative development, which leads to the formation of additional shoots and the development of the root system, contributing to the creation of dense turf.

Before haircut, the lawn must be checked for foreign objects. For the first time, the lawn starts striding after 1 - 1.5 months after the appearance of sprouts. In height the first haircut must be at least 6 - 8 cmAnd all subsequent should be 3 - 5 cm. In the spring and autumn, one centimeter is added to such height.

In this wayTo make up its country's cottage, many gardeners plant grass for lawn. It makes landscape design more attractive and pleases the owners with his beauty. Lawn care depends on the grade of the selected grass. Sowing best needs to be engaged in autumn, it will make it possible to get strong plants without weeds.
