When the beautiful lawn turns into a yellow straw landscape, every amateur gardener's heart breaks. But how does the grass shine in lush green again?
In summer, not only do we sweat, but also our lawn - it also looks like this: Wretched and discolored yellow. But sometimes the heat and drought is not the only reason for the pathetic appearance of the lawn landscape . Often it is a certain defect that triggers the pale colors.
Green the lawn: are you using the right fertilizer?
In this case, iron fertilizer can remedy the situation, according to Rasen-Experte.de . And if that doesn't work, it's probably a sign that you should change the fertilizer . It may be enough to switch to a different brand or composition, as every lawn type and soil is different.
To do this, check the pH of your soil - this is very easy with test sets from a hardware store with which you can take samples and measure yourself. If it is too acidic, it may be worth liming it - but be sure to scarify the lawn beforehand. The lime can then work better in the soil.
Give the lawn air to breathe
Also, occasionally loosen your soil with a rake so that your grass area receives more light and air . This also strengthens it so that it can withstand mosses and other weeds better - you achieve the same effect by scarifying the lawn.
Even in autumn, you can do something for your garden by quickly collecting the falling leaves and helping the grass to breathe. In general, you should remove the cut grass from the surface after each mowing process.
Water the lawn properly
Last but not least, it is of course important to properly water the lawn. It is clear that the grass does not really want to turn green when it is too dry. But sometimes you mean it too well with him. A constant watering can lead to yellowing also - it is triggered by a fungal disease. It is therefore best to water your lawn in the morning so that the water can dry gently.
