Roll lawn - choose, lay
What qualities should a good lawn have? Of course, it must have a bright green color and be resistant to trampling. The turf of the lawn should be dense and quickly recover from stress. Lawn grasses should be easy to suppress weeds, be resistant to diseases and pests.
For rooting and good development of a roll lawn, you must do the following:
- prepare the site;
- fertilize the soil;
- properly lay the rolled lawn;
- water it abundantly.
If you follow our recommendations, you will grow a beautiful lawn.
Site preparation
Water should not stagnate on the lawn, therefore it is necessary to make a slope of the site to drain it.
For the lawn, loam is preferable. For him, the fertility of the soil is not so important as its density. The soil plowed to a depth of 15-20 cm, with the addition of a large amount of sand and peat, is the basis for rooting a roll lawn. Proper preparation of the soil layer creates favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants. Preferably the day before laying the lawn water the soil well. Then moisture will remain below, and the soil will dry out on top, and it will be easy to work on it.
In order for the lawn to take root evenly, you must first level the surface of the site. This can be done using a skating rink and a rule. Poorly rolled soil can lead to freezing of the grass roots.
Fertilization
When soil leveling is complete, you can start applying fertilizers. For laying the roll lawn, it is necessary to apply fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus and potassium. Such fertilizers will ensure good rooting. Fertilizers with a high nitrogen content do not need to be applied in the early stages.
Uneven fertilization results in overdose and streaks and brown spots on the lawn. To restore such a lawn, it must be watered abundantly.
Lawn laying
The first rolls should be laid along the tracks. In these places, the lawn dries up more, so it is very important not to disturb the integrity of the roll. After laying the first rolls, you need to lay out the rest in a checkerboard pattern, so the lawn will have a more aesthetic appearance.
After laying the lawn, be sure to water it abundantly. This is very important for the rooting of the grass. The shorter the time from laying to the first watering, the more chances of success.
If done correctly, the lawn will begin to take root as early as the fourth day after laying.
The advantage of a roll lawn is that by laying it, we immediately get an instant effect and do not have to fight weeds at the first stage.
