The 10 Easy Steps To Growing Greener Grass
1. Water Appropriately
We all know that water helps improve the quality of your grass, but it’s important to know when to stop watering your grass! Overwatering can detract any progress you’ve made towards a perfect, green lawn. So, water your lawn for 30 minutes then stop to dig a spade into the soil and check to see how far the water has penetrated into your yard. If the water level on the spade indicates that the water has gone 4-6 inches into the ground, then stop watering. If the water level is less than 4-6 inches, continue watering until it reaches that ideal level of water penetration. You don’t have to water your lawn frequently, but when you do, make sure you give it enough water or the grass roots will think they have no reason to grow deeper.
2. Spread Compost Around Your Lawn
In addition to reducing landfill waste, compost adds wonderful nutrients into your soil to aid in the creation of a perfectly green lawn. Compost helps to fertilize the grass, improve the aeration, neutralize the soil’s pH levels, prevents erosion, and deters garden pests from wreaking havoc on your lawn! Composting is free and easy to do; don’t wait to add this natural fertilizer to your lawn.
3. Don’t Cut The Grass Too Short
A common mistake mowers make is giving your grass a buzz cut, when it really needs to remain longer in order to keep it’s form and to ensure the blades of the grass produce sufficient amounts of nutrients to survive. The blades of the grass are the “food factory” for the plant and short blades of grass can’t produce as much nutrients as longer blades. Long blades of grass are also important in shading and cooling the soil beneath the grass which prevents weeds from sprouting and water from the soil won’t evaporate as quickly if the conditions remain cool.
