One of the best ways to prace
a
land
pe is to make use of n
ve
. It is much easier to natura
mote the h
th of your land
pe when the
you use thrive in your area. Bringing in exo
or non-n
ve
from areas with very different condi
ns only
ults in frustra
n and the possible reliance on c
icals to help you take care of t
. If you w
to keep a land
pe that works with the natural setting, n
ve
, or
from areas with similar condi
ns, can help you ac
plish this.
The lawn is m often the m
visible part of a land
pe. It seems as though many people thing it is necessary to use a great d
of c
icals to keep pests from ruining the lawn or to help the lawn grow well. The truth, however, is that by actively caring for the soil in your lawn as well as the
ss, you can create a h
thier lawn. This can be done in a number of ways that do not involve c
icals that can be harmful to the environment and to your h
th.
One of these ways is the use of a
f
. There are
posi
ns of f
made entirely of
a
materials. These f
s do c
more up front, but as they are used regularly reduce long run c
s. The decrease the need for c
icals that can be
e expensive (and if applied wrong can actua
damage you lawn more than help it), and they do not need to be applied as often. So, the c
often evens out eventua
, as you have to apply the synthe
f
much more often.
Another way to take care of the lawn is to use praces that
mote h
thy soil and better
ss roots. One of these prac
es is aera
n. Aera
n relieves soil
pac
n by punching holes in the ground. This helps by making the soil easier to go through. This means that the roots have more room to go deeper, and
anisms, like earthworms, that actua
help the h
th of your
ss, have more room to m
about and make their homes. This
ults in natura
h
thy
ss that withstands pests better and keeps weeds out on its own.
Top dsing and
r seeding are other
a
prac
es that im
ve the h
th of the lawn. Top d
sing is the act of taking
p
ed
a
matter and mixing it half and half with sand. A thin layer is then spread
r the lawn. This actua
im
ves the lawn rooting, cre
ng h
thier, hardier
ss, without f
. Over seeding is a method that makes use of more than the re
mended amount of
ss seed -- about one and a half times more than the re
mended amount. Over seeding
motes quicker germina
n and
ults in a thicker lawn that fights weeds.
F,
a
or otherwise, is not even necessary if you prac
e
mon sense in using
a
gardening techniques. You can even create your own
p
and mulch by using
ss clippings from the lawn mower and left
rs from the garden. Raked leaves and pine needles and weeds can also be used. By leaving t
to de
pose, you are cre
ng nutrient-rich
a
matter than can be used to, in turn, im
ve the h
th of all the
in your land
pe, not just
ss. Orga
gardening can be a very rewarding and money saving effort when you do it yourself.
