Care of the lawn

Who doesn`t want to have a beautiful lawn in front of the house ;)? If we want to have a beautiful lawn we must take care of it. We mow the lawn regularly - every 5 - 7 days. We have to remove the weed regularly because we don`t want that the weed overgrown our lawn. If we can`t remove it manually, we can use a special fertilizer for lawns that contains ingredients against weed. The lawn has to be fertilized by the membrane fertilizer each year at the beginning of growing season. Membrane lawn fertilizer is released slowly and have an effect on long-term. I recommend you to fertilize the lawn before the rain, so the rain can dissolve the fertilizer. However, if there is no rain you can also water the lawn manually.





Grass clippings can serve as mulch in the garden or they can be added to the compost. But we have to dry it a little after the mow. If we are using various herbicides for weed control or fungicidals against molds and fungi, the grass shouldn`t be added to the compost or be used as a mulch in the vegetable garden.

If there are long periods without rain at the summer we have to supply the lawn with the water.
