6 secrets of a beautiful lawn (Part 1)

Cut correctly
Start to cut lawn in May and finish in October. The main rule - is to cut often, but not too short. As a rule, in the spring and in the early autumn it is necessary to cut the lawn once a week and it is necessary to cut a lawn twice a week in the summer. At such mode the grass becomes more dense, and a surface of a lawn - elastic.
How to cut the grass? If the lawn is young, it is necessary to cut it only tips of a grass. And the normal height of a grass for an ordinary lawn of not the first year - 5 - 6 cm height will suit. If to cut more shortly, a grass starts to weaken, there will be bald spots, the quantity of weeds and a moss can increase. If to leave a grass above 6 cm, the surface of a lawn will become rough (platyphyllous grass always supersedes angustifoliate grass) and more rare- herbage. Besides, the high grass impoverishes ground.
Destroy weeds
The majority of weeds perish during a hairstyle. But some plants, undersized, growing “socket”, do not get under a knife of a mower and fairly spoil a kind of a lawn. Dandelion, clover and a daisy are among the most “malicious” plants.
If there are only a few weeds, they can be deleted manually - dig out plants scoop or a garden plug ( it will not be possible to pull it out as the turf “holds” roots). At a strong contamination of a lawn it is necessary to apply herbicide to a lawn, and processing should be done up to the middle of July. If for two days after processing will not pass a rain, spill a lawn. In two-rub weeks weeds will be lost, rake them up from a lawn and dig (somewhere far away from a reservoir, vegetable and fruit plants).
The moss also belongs to weeds; it appears on too condensed and water-logged sites. In such places it is good to pin the ground with raker - in order to air and loosen ground.
