Fertilizing The Lawn  

Last month, we spoke about the advantages of a grass lawn. Now we will speak about ways that will enable us to have a healthy and beautiful lawn.

The quality of grass is determined and influenced by such factors as humidity, temperature, shading and the existence of weeds. The most important factor, however, is a correct and sufficient feeding with the essentially nutritious elements. A lawn, to grow smoothly and continue to thrive, needs nitrogen, phosphor, potassium in bigger doses and those trace elements like, iron, magnesium, calcium etc., in smaller doses. i.e.:

SEASON                   TYPE OF FERTILIZER                   QUANTITY gr/m2

March / April                            21-7-14 + TE                                     40-45
