Each sea\u00adson requires us to look after the gar\u00adden dif\u00adfer\u00adent\u00adly. With the arrival of cool\u00ader weath\u00ader, it\u2019s time to think about, how to pre\u00adpare a lawn for win\u00adter<\/strong>. Grass, like oth\u00ader plants in your gar\u00adden, needs spe\u00adcial care to sur\u00advive the cold months and to flour\u00adish suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly in spring. It should not be for\u00adgot\u00adten that the lawn is exposed to a num\u00adber of fac\u00adtors in win\u00adter that can weak\u00aden or even destroy it. There\u00adfore, prop\u00ader prepa\u00adra\u00adtion becomes key to main\u00adtain\u00ading its health and beau\u00adty. In this post, we will sug\u00adgest what to look out for and how to take care of your green turf step by step before the onset of win\u00adter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to start preparing your lawn for winter? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prepar\u00ading the lawn for win\u00adter<\/strong> is a process that is worth think\u00ading about as ear\u00adly as late sum\u00admer. Tak\u00ading prop\u00ader care of your lawn dur\u00ading this peri\u00adod ensures that it will be able to with\u00adstand the low tem\u00adper\u00ada\u00adtures and oth\u00ader harsh con\u00addi\u00adtions that win\u00adter brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the first frosts arrive, gar\u00adden\u00ading experts rec\u00adom\u00admend cut\u00adting the grass with a slight\u00adly low\u00ader set\u00adting than usu\u00adal. Why is this impor\u00adtant? When the grass is too long, it can accu\u00admu\u00adlate mois\u00adture under the lay\u00ader of snow, which pro\u00admotes rot\u00adting. Rot\u00adten parts of the lawn pro\u00advide an ide\u00adal envi\u00adron\u00adment for var\u00adi\u00adous pathogens to grow, which can lead to grass dis\u00adeases. Cut\u00adting the lawn to a low\u00ader height allows it to sur\u00advive the win\u00adter months bet\u00adter. In addi\u00adtion, short\u00ader grass is less like\u00adly to be crushed by snow. If it is crushed under the weight of the snow for an extend\u00aded peri\u00adod of time, it can turn yel\u00adlow or even die in cer\u00adtain areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you prepare your lawn for winter? Start by fertilising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Autumn is the time when nature pre\u00adpares for its win\u00adter dor\u00adman\u00adcy, and you have the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to take steps to ensure your piece of green\u00adery gets off to a healthy start in the com\u00ading year. In par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar prepar\u00ading the lawn for win\u00adter<\/strong> is extreme\u00adly impor\u00adtant, and one of the key ele\u00adments in this process is its appro\u00adpri\u00adate fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is autumn fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion such an impor\u00adtant activ\u00adi\u00adty? The answer lies in the spe\u00adcif\u00adic needs of the plants dur\u00ading this peri\u00adod. Spe\u00adcial crop sup\u00adport mea\u00adsures<\/a> for autumn are for\u00admu\u00adlat\u00aded dif\u00adfer\u00adent\u00adly from those used at oth\u00ader times of the year. They con\u00adtain less nitro\u00adgen, the ingre\u00addi\u00adent main\u00adly respon\u00adsi\u00adble for the rapid growth and green colour of the lawn. Instead, they focus on pro\u00advid\u00ading more potas\u00adsi\u00adum and phos\u00adpho\u00adrus. These two ingre\u00addi\u00adents are cru\u00adcial for strength\u00aden\u00ading the roots of the grass, which is essen\u00adtial for the grass to suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly sur\u00advive the harsh win\u00adter con\u00addi\u00adtions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing your lawn for winter \u2014 what else needs to be done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scar\u00adi\u00adfy\u00ading and aer\u00adat\u00ading focus on cut\u00adting the sur\u00adface of the lawn, but in a slight\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent way. Scar\u00adi\u00adfy\u00ading involves remov\u00ading a lay\u00ader of felt (dead grass, plant debris) from the sur\u00adface of the lawn, which in turn helps to improve the pen\u00ade\u00adtra\u00adtion of water and nutri\u00adents into the soil. Aer\u00ada\u00adtion, on the oth\u00ader hand, involves cre\u00adat\u00ading small holes in the soil, which improves air and water per\u00adme\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty to the roots of the lawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumn is the ide\u00adal time to tack\u00adle stub\u00adborn peren\u00adni\u00adal weeds. Dur\u00ading this peri\u00adod, many weeds build up nutri\u00adents in their roots in prepa\u00adra\u00adtion for win\u00adter. Get\u00adting rid of weeds in autumn pre\u00advents them from spread\u00ading the fol\u00adlow\u00ading year, which is key to main\u00adtain\u00ading the aes\u00adthet\u00adics and health of your lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edg\u00ading<\/a> Lawn sods not only have an aes\u00adthet\u00adic func\u00adtion, but also pro\u00adtect your lawn from dam\u00adage. Before win\u00adter, make sure they are well fixed and do not allow leaves and oth\u00ader debris to get under the lawn. In addi\u00adtion to main\u00adtain\u00ading your edg\u00ading, take care to clean your lawn. Make sure that all leaves, branch\u00ades etc. have been removed from it. Leav\u00ading them over the win\u00adter can lead to lawn rot and dis\u00adease devel\u00adop\u00adment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about it, how to pre\u00adpare a lawn before win\u00adter<\/strong>, it\u2019s worth remem\u00adber\u00ading that your actions are not only aimed at get\u00adting your lawn through this time of year, but also at ensur\u00ading that it is healthy and ready to flour\u00adish in the spring. Tak\u00ading reg\u00adu\u00adlar care of your lawn in autumn is an invest\u00adment that pays div\u00adi\u00addends through\u00adout the fol\u00adlow\u00ading year. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
