Lawn Care Tips For Summer
With the right mindset, you can make summer lawn care easy. For one, you can ensure that your lawn gets adequate nutrients needed to grow strong and healthy. Feeding them with plant boosting supplements to the soil, for example, can help strengthen your plants to remain resilient. After six to eight weeks after these feedings, the lawn itself will convert these nutrients for your plants to use in growing thick and strong. You will want to refresh these nutrients with consistent feeding since this allows your lawn to grow, crowd out weeds, and cool the soil. At the same time, mowing your lawn is best done with the mower blade set to High. Cutting too low with a lawnmower will shortchange your lawn while cutting higher means having taller grass with longer roots and more resiliency. This is because long roots help fight summer heat by reaching down to absorb greater moisture and store more water.
The Power Of Proper Watering
As for watering, you will want to remain consistent and committed to giving your plants every drop they need. Though longer roots help, there is no substitute for watering deeply during a dry spell. Keep the watering infrequent yet quenching. Otherwise, if you water too frequently, roots will shorten again and lose their advantage against drought conditions. Moreover, you can adopt the inch-per-week rule. Water in the morning between 6 A.M. and 10 A.M. to reduce wasteful evaporation from the sun, and water just once per week to maintain roots and hydration. But, perhaps you simply have a type of grass that will not hand hot weather. This is the case if grass grows only in bunches or with thick, unappealing blades. These types of lawns will have unsightly bare spots. Nevertheless, it’s best to consult a professional to solve your lawn issues.
