With the arrival of warmth in the summer residents and owners of household plots there is an unthinkable amount of work that does not stop until the coldest. Especially tiring can be an endless harvesting of weed plants, clogging lawns and beds. But there is a way out - to plant grass for the lawn, replacing the weeds .
Does the grass weed out weeds?
Unfortunately, the dream of "magic" grass, capable of drowning out weeds that survive in almost extreme conditions, and create an ideal lawn, is not sustainable. The fact is that after sowing the herbal culture, all the time, until its sprouts are fragile, the weeds will still try to "conquer" the given plot. However, with a constant cleaning of the site, a dense planting and proper care of the grass, the use of a layer of turf weeds will eventually leave the lawn.
What kind of grass is better for a lawn in the country?
True, there are a number of herbs that are resistant to unfavorable environmental conditions at the weed level, and therefore can compete with the latter.
Well on the lawn look like lupine, clover and phacelia, which in the beginning require good conditions for growth.
If your lawn is located in the penumbra, primrose, periwinkle, fragrant violet will help to save from the weeds. Attention is also drawn to the hoof, which creates a dense carpet lowered to the ground. If you are a fan of a lily of the valley, do not forget about this plant if you plan to plant a lawn.
As lawn grass, which displaces weeds, it is possible to use soil-bearing thyme creeping, which is characterized by a special unpretentiousness.
Talking about what kind of grass lawns out weeds at least to a small extent, we can not fail to mention ryegrass pasture and timothy.
Some mixtures of herbs for lawn have proven successful.
- fescue red;
- fine curvature;
- bluegrass meadow.
Among the owners of the sites are popular mixtures "Blooming City", "Children's Lawn, Exclusive", "Canada Green", "Oriental Ornament" and others. For shady areas, a mixture of "Shade", "Ornamental" will do. If you prefer a low carpet on the lawn, use a mixture of "Gnome", "Lilliput" or "Ritual."
