My home is like each house on the block. The grass always wishes assist, since it is moreover blazing out, not receiving sufficient water, or merely has too a lot manure. At the foundation of the season, I determined that I want modify the method I come near my back grounding, and getting a hands-on posture on arranging the grass for the future summer.
I went to the home improvement center and purchased a seed spreader, so that I could sprinkle out a fair amount of fertilizer and seed starter. Following the instructions on the package, I carefully moved across the lawn with my new seed spreader, to ensure I get an even flow of fertilizer all across the grass.
I purchased the time release fertilizer that would last for months, minimizing my need to do this every few weeks. Based on the instructions, I then watered the grass accordingly, to begin the process where some of the fertilizer pellets would begin to “melt” and add nutrients to the grass, at the beginning of the season.
Within a few weeks, I noticed where there was new growth coming up, and the grass was much greener than it had ever been before. I was well into late spring, before I noticed that I had forgotten to take the spreader over a specific portion of the grass. It was easy to tell, because the grass was noticeably less green, and sickly looking. I instantly pulled out my seed spreader, filled it up, and disperse the adequate amount of fertilizer over that area.
Within a couple weeks, it had caught up to the rest of the grass, making it all look beautiful in appearance.
At the same time I purchased in my seed spreader, I also bought a high quality sprinkler system that I could use on the grass. Using nothing more than the portable system, attached to my garden hose, it uses a timer to ensure that each blade of grass is getting the proper amount of water a few times a week.
I noticed that some of the grass was turning yellow at the stems, before it was time to cut the grass, and realize I was not giving the grass enough water. I simply bumped up the timer, to allow an additional one minute of water, which was all it took to maximize the look and appearance of a healthy looking grass.
To ensure that my grass remained good looking through the entire summer, I changed the blade on my grass more to ensure that it was a sharp as possible. I recognize at the end of last year, that the blade was merely pushing the grass over and chopping it off, instead of giving it a good slice. With a high-quality sharp blade on the grass mower, I get a clean cut that keeps the grass healthier and reduces the amount of bruising caused by the push of a dull blade.
With some planning, my weekend home improvement plan to fitting the grass has proven to be highly successful. I now have the best looking grass and the whole area.
