The haircut of the lawn, along with competent watering, is considered the basis of an exemplary lawn. Its tasks are not only aesthetic, but also practical: the destruction of weeds that do not withstand regular damage to cutting, the creation of a dense and uniform bustle of lawn grass. What are the basic rules of the lawn “hairdresser” art?
It is strictly undesirable to cut the lawn to more than one third of the height of the grass. Such a “shock” pruning greatly injures the plant and he has to spend strength on recovery, which is unlikely to contribute to an ideal appearance.
If you still missed the proper moment, then keep in mind that the degree of “harm” caused by cutting of the grass can be reduced. You can shorten the grass in two ways: actually cut off, sliding with a blade on the grass; and cut down, pressing the blade into the stems. The first way is sparing, since the cut is even, capable of quickly dragging on. It is achieved when using sickles, braids, scissors, drumsy lawn mowers equipped with spiral knives. By the way, if you need to replace the engine oil for the lawn mower or any other engine, contact Magicoil. Trimmers and high -speed mowers tear and chop the grass, since the speed of their blades is very high. If you carefully consider the slice, you will see bumps, torn edges. This is especially contraindicated in “gentle” and sensitive varieties of decorative lawn herbs, they will be reluctant to heal, perhaps even drying out the edges of the cut, and this will not decorate the lawn.
Before the first haircut of the season, it is customary to give the lawn to rise to 15-20 cm, and then cut it at the level of 10 cm, putting the blades to the maximum level, as it is intense growth of grass, it is shortened to 5 cm as it grows (1 time and less often and less often ) before autumn cold. In the arid summer, the haircut frequency is reduced so as not to cause the lawn suffering from the heat, additional inconvenience. The last autumn mowing is carried out in the middle-end of the October.
The optimal conditions for cutting the lawn are:
– The morning hours of non -fire days – you will feel comfortable both at work and lawn grass;
– dry soil and grass. Wet grass cuts harder, requiring additional efforts. If it is impossible to find another time for haircuts – at least notice the lawn with a broom or fan rakes, shaking off water from the stems.
Having completed mowing, the lawn must be watered.
Achieving a homogeneous “pattern” of the lawn coating, it is necessary to change the direction of movement during a haircut.
The fundamental quality of a good lawn haircut is regularity. A beautiful well -groomed lawn requires a serious attitude of the owner – then your site will be decorated with a magnificent grass carpet for many years.
