As you know, a beautiful well-groomed courtyard in front of the house only externally seems like a simple solution instead of beds. In fact, the grass carpet is not so easy to get and in this matter the period of seed planting will be important. Below we will consider whether it is possible to sow lawn grass on snow, and when it is generally preferable to do this.
At what time should we sow lawn grass?
The most favorable period when it is worth sowing lawn grass is considered to be the end of summer. The fact is that in this interval the earth is still well moistened, the weeds if left, they are not so torn in growth, and the soil is still perfectly warm. But if you look at the question when to sow lawn grass, in autumn or spring, then there are two opposite opinions:
- Some summer residents are sure that the period when it is desirable to sow lawn grass, comes exactly in the autumn in the middle period. This is the end of September or about the middle of October. But the beginning of autumn just does not do. Why this happens: if you sow seeds in September, they will have time to get through to frost and problems can not be avoided. When we sow them just before frost, the seeds will be hardened and many diseases will bypass the lawn. If you decide that the ideal period for you when you can sow lawn grass, begins in the fall, be prepared for additional waste of time. It is necessary to care for planting and to introduce potassium with phosphorus to strengthen the seeds, to avoid nitrogen, in order to prevent them from growing.
- The second half of gardeners are sure that the ideal period when it is preferable to sow lawn grass is spring. If you plant in May, the seeds will start growing much faster. But then you will have to constantly struggle with weeds, periodically introduce nitrogen to improve growth.
Finally, the timing of planting lawn grass in autumn or spring will depend on the composition of the planting stock itself. Therefore, you should find out whether the selected herbs are fast-growing or slow-growing. Regardless of the selected period, work should begin on a dry and windless day.
