How to keep your lawn lush and green all summer long

Fertilizing your lawn is undoubtedly very important. Thanks to this, the blades will be intensely green, and you won't see burnt patches on the grass. What exactly should you do to have a beautiful lawn? Just keep a few simple rules in mind.

Some people believe a garden lawn must only be watered and mowed occasionally. Unfortunately, this thinking is incorrect. Enjoying a beautiful lawn is not enough. Proper lawn fertilization is necessary. The critical times are spring, summer, and winter.

Summer is not the best time for liming, as it can disrupt the growth of your lawn and sometimes even cause dry patches that will just mar the garden.

In the summer, the lawn mainly needs minerals, especially nitrogen. Nitrogen is responsible for the grass's intense, green color and allows for healthy and fast growth. The grass also needs potassium, phosphorus, and calcium.

      
1. Fertilizers from garden stores should be distributed evenly.
2. Mown grass can be left on the surface - this will help replenish nitrogen deficiencies.
3. You can try nettle slurry - the liquid should be diluted with water at a ratio of 1:10, water once a month.
4. You should ensure a slightly acidic soil pH (5.5 - 6.5 pH).
