You will need to have needed to have a phenomenal inexperienced garden in your backyard not less than as soon as in your life. Maybe you determined to sow, however the final success was absent. It goes with out saying that solely our grandchildren will take pleasure in the lawns sown immediately.
It has been a very long time in the world, and in our nation twenty years in the past, it was doable to get grass “carpets” with which we will take pleasure in a phenomenal inexperienced garden in only a few hours.
So, there isn’t a extra painstaking sowing, worry of ants and birds feasting on the sown seeds. All due to «prompt» lawns, i.e. grass carpets which are grown in nurseries and arrive in our gardens similar to carpets. Just unwrap them and the job is finished. You can get them right here in all main backyard facilities, and their value ranges from HRK 40 to HRK 60 per sq. meter.
However, as a way to guarantee success right here, it is vitally necessary to organize the area nicely.
The most necessary step – good preparation of the area
Remains of development materials and stones have to be faraway from the floor, in addition to weeds. Depending on the floor, we additionally stage the terrain, since it is vitally necessary that the floor is as flat as doable, since the roots is not going to come into good contact with the floor in the locations of subsidence, and the garden will certainly fail in that place. Also, extra water is retained in slight depressions, which additionally causes the garden to deteriorate.
That’s why, after processing, any indentations are leveled with the assist of sand, which is able to fill even the smallest indentations nicely.
We additionally add starter fertilizer in the ratio 2:3:2 in the quantity of 60g/m2 to the ready area.
After ending the remedy, grass carpets are put in.
We place them in such a manner that the strips are tightly positioned subsequent to one another. They are normally about 40 centimeters vast and about one meter lengthy. All the extra, for instance on the edges, is solely lower off with a pointy knife. However, extreme chopping ought to be prevented, i.e. the most ideally suited is to put one entire strip. The joints of the two segments ought to be gently hammered with a rubber mallet, as a way to receive a very good joint and speed up root progress.
Regular watering – sooner root progress
After laying the garden, there’s a lot of work to do with its preliminary upkeep. The most necessary factor in the first weeks is correct watering. Namely, ample quantities of moisture will encourage sooner rooting, so in the first weeks after set up, as much as three waterings per day are vital. After about two weeks, water solely as soon as a day, ideally in the night.
In the first days after set up, the garden could not look good. At the edges, sure grasses whose roots have been lower will flip yellow, however they are going to be changed in a short time by new blades.
A couple of weeks after set up, it’s possible you’ll discover slight depressions in the floor that you simply didn’t discover earlier than set up. It is sufficient to fill them with a combination of sand and peat. However, if the depressions are massive, stage them a number of instances, every time including a number of centimeters of substrate.
And lastly, after about two weeks you can begin with the first mowing. Do not overdo it, however solely lower off the ideas of the blades, and in subsequent mowings, maintain the top of the garden at the really helpful size, relying on the season.
