Five simple tips for a colorful lawn
One of the most desired objectives in gardens around the world is to have a green and lustrous lawn. Here are five simple tips to get a perfect lawn.
The warm season has already been established and it is time to enjoy its beautiful lawn. If you take care of your lawn properly, it will be green and lustrous at all times, and will no doubt be the envy of the entire neighborhood. To help you, we have created a list of important aspects that you should keep in mind:
1. Parting
The regular bucking of the lawn is very important as it helps thicken the grass. Regarding the cutting technique: little and often it is better than a lot and at once. Change the direction and cutting pattern each time so that the roots of the grass are not pressed in the same direction. For each cut, the rule of thumb is to reduce the stem to approximately half or two thirds, about 5 cm. In the middle of summer it is advisable to leave the grass a little longer, since it will better withstand periods of drought. [If you do not have enough time or energy to mow your lawn frequently, an automatic mower can be a good solution].

Bucking removes many nutrients from the grass that have to be replaced to obtain optimal growth. Therefore, from the beginning of spring it is advisable to fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. Your lawn needs nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus and you can find special lawn fertilizer mixtures for sale at your local garden dealer. The amount to be used is indicated on the fertilizer containers.
3. Irrigation
If you want your lawn to be green and lustrous throughout the summer, it is very important to water it. The frequency of irrigation for your lawn depends on the temperature and humidity. When the grass needs water, it begins to acquire a bluish and grayish tone and the oldest leaves of the plant begin to curl or wither. If you have planted a new lawn, you will need to water it once a day so that the seeds can germinate and a strong root system can be formed.
Nowadays, new technologies allow watering the lawn comfortably. It can water
your garden manually or automatically, with partial or total automation. The GARDENA product range includes fixed and mobile irrigation solutions, as well as irrigation pumps and programmers. If you wish, you can let automated, intelligent and programmable irrigation and sprinkler systems take care of all the work. All you have to do is program and place the sprinklers.

4. Weed control
With persistence and the right tools, you can win the battle against your lawn weeds. Many of the weeds can be extracted by mechanical means. Smaller weeds (such as veronicas or white clover) can be extracted with a manual scarifier, which is used to prevent and hinder their growth. Daisies and dandelions should be extracted with a root borer and it is very important to remove the maximum length from the root in order to prevent them from growing back. If there is still no way to make them disappear, you can resort to herbicides. If the bad roots have overcome the grass, the best solution is to re-structure the entire soil and cover it with turf on a roll.

5. Scarification and aeration
The roots of the grass need air to breathe and grow. Often, the grass floor is not so sandy as to allow air to reach the roots and, as a result, growth does not develop. With the help of a simple rake you can make holes in the lawn and fill them with coarse sand. In this way, surface water can flow and transport oxygen to the roots. The scarification allows to extract dead herbs and other remains of your lawn. If you remove the straw layer from your lawn, it will provide more space for the lower parts of the grass to breathe and make the stems grow better.
