What can you do to fight moss growth in the lawn?
>> Moss occurs where there are unfavorable conditions such as lack of nutrients and bald spots.
>> A healthy, strong lawn should be well protected against moss infestation.
>> To fight moss growth, you should mow it first.
>> Moss that occurs over a large area is cut out and then aerated (it is not necessary).
>> In order to completely remove the moss and its spores, we recommend using a moss killer.
>> The moss now turns brown to black and can be raked out after about a week.
>> A follow-up treatment with a lawn regenerator is recommended.
What do I do about weeds in the lawn?
>> The most common weeds are: white clover, dandelion and plantain.
>> A temperature of at least 10 ° C is necessary for weed control. However, temperatures between 15-25 ° C are optimal.
>> After mowing and aerating, a weed killer should be applied after a week.
>> After another week's break, mowing must be done again.
>> A follow-up treatment with a lawn regenerator is recommended.
How often should you sprinkle the lawn?
>> Drought and waterlogging must be avoided in any case. This can cause mosses, weeds and bald spots.
>> The following table gives an overview of the irrigation frequency:
- At least every 4 days> 30 ° C
- 5-7 days 25-30 ° C
- 7-10 days 20-25 ° C
- Every 10 days <20 ° C
>> The values apply to average soils. More often in sandy soils and less in clayey soils.
>> Don't forget: include rain in the calculation!
Are mushrooms on the lawn bad?
>> Hat mushrooms live in a symbiosis (community) with the grasses. They are therefore useful.
>> If they become bothersome, they can simply be raked or mowed.
Do I have to aerate my lawn?
Aerating means cutting vertically and cutting through the so-called lawn thatch on the surface of the ground. Aerating causes old grasses, broad-leaved herbs and moss to be plucked out, which inhibit the penetration of water and air and hinders the growth of grass. After processing, the healthy tufts of grass can spread out better and are even stimulated to branch by cutting up the clumps. It is recommended to aerate the lawn lengthways and crossways. This achieves the highest efficiency.
When is the right time to aerate my lawn?
>> Aerating separates a number of leaf and stem particles.
>> This causes the grass to sprout again vigorously and leads to thick vegetation.
>> Aerating should take place in good growth conditions so that the grasses can recover quickly.
>> A mineral lawn fertilizer should be applied about a week before aerating .
>> You can aeratie from March and, if necessary, again in August/September.
What is the right cutting height for my lawn?
>> The lawn should be cut from a height of 4 cm.
>> After mowing, it is allowed to grow to approx. 8 cm and be mowed again.
>> The lawn should not be cut too short, otherwise there is a risk of bald spots, moss and weed infestation.
>> The first cut is made when the lawn reaches a height of around 8 cm as long as there is no risk of frost.
Can I always fertilize my lawn?
>> In general, lawn fertilizers are only used in the growth phase, which begins in March and can last until November.
>> Otherwise, you should not fertilize. This can cause damage to the lawn.
>> A distinction is made here between long-term lawn fertilizers and mineral lawn fertilizers.
>> Mineral lawn fertilizers should be applied at least twice, even better three times a year. Spring fertilization starting from March, early summer fertilization in June, and autumn fertilization in August in preparation for winter.
Help my lawn has bald spots!
>> Bald spots are caused by poor growth conditions (dry season/heat) or by excessive strain on the lawn.
>> In addition, a bald spot can remain after the moss or weed control.
