SOIL PREPARATION AND SEEDING OF GREEN MEAT
To sow a green lawn, you must carefully follow some basic rules:
First you need to leave about 30 or 40 centimeters of fertile soil, performing light movements of the earth. Subsequently the stones and the roots that the soil contains will be removed, once the cleaning is finished with the help of the rotary tiller it is necessary to go to work the soil until the earth is soft, this processing will have to be carried out when the earth is perfectly dry. Finally, you need to rake the ground to be able to level it properly. A very important processing step is the fertilization, which must be carried out in a perfectly uniform manner with fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. Furthermore, it is also possible to use preferably mature manure. To ensure that the fertilizer or manure is absorbed by the soil, further milling is recommended. Furthermore, do not forget the rolling that is obtained with the help of a special roller that must weigh at least 100 kilos. After having carried out this last process, the surface must be leveled again to eliminate the depressions or bumps. After all these fundamental procedures you can start sowing the lawn, with the help of a precise seeder. Afterwards it will be necessary to rake the soil to cover the seeds perfectly. Finally, you will have to pass the roller again. The first irrigation must be gradual without causing erosion or flooding which could compromise the growth of the ma
CARE OF THE GREEN MEADOW
The ordinary maintenance of the green lawn includes numerous very important phases such as shearing, irrigation, fertilization and the removal of annoying weeds.
For a uniform watering it is advisable to buy and install a practical and efficient rain system, which can be either buried or installed on the surface, on the market there are both automatic and manual depending on your preferences.
Lawn Mowing is very important, there is no rule that determines the interval between one shearing and another, this procedure depends mainly on the type of sown lawn, irrigation and fertilization. However in any case it is advisable to cut the turf at most every fifteen days. We must pay a lot of attention to the blades of the grass cutter, in fact, the latter will have to be filed properly, since if they are not very sharp they will compromise the vitality of the lawn due to the fraying of the grass, which will then go yellowing. total. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid cutting the grass when the soil is too dry or when the grass is wet, as it will stick to the machinery which in turn will compromise the mowing. The best time to mow the turf is in the evening in the summer and in the rest of the year in the early afternoon.
Fertilization is an essential phase, since when we cut the grass we go to remove the important nourishment to the turf, therefore we must return it with fertilization. It is advisable to fertilize the lawn by spring and to proceed about every 5 weeks. as already mentioned the necessary substances are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Do not forget that we must also keep under control the annoying weeds, some can be removed with the help of mechanical tools, others of small dimensions can be removed with the scarifier. In order to prevent the regrowth of the same, in all cases it is necessary to go to also eradicate the roots.
Lawn do it yourself: THE DISEASES OF GREEN LAWN
The lawn can be attacked by numerous diseases of fungal origin, the most common being:
ROSE MARCIUME: which attacks in winter and develops above all in a humid climate and a soil with a high quantity of nitrogen. This disease affects the lawn especially when the turf is covered by snow, this pathology shows whitish round spots that can reach 30 or 40 centimeters.
LA MACCHIA BRUNA: it preferably affects the fertile soil with the presence of a hot and humid climate.
THE YELLOW STAIN: it mainly affects the grassy areas of central-northern Italy and is favored by the harsh and sometimes humid climate of the winter months.
THE LEAF MARCIUME: usually strikes the young lawn, causing it to rot from the roots until it reaches the collar. This disease attacks the nitrogen-rich soil and the presence of a humid climate.
SCLEROTINIOSIS: always a fungal disease is typical of the hot climate with a high humidity, in this case it affects the nitrogen-poor soils.
THE RED WIRE: it has round spots of about 15-20 centimeters, of red color and it affects mainly in autumn and spring.
These diseases can be combated by first performing a careful cutting of the turf, and then proceeding with broad-spectrum targeted fungicide treatments.
