Tips to Maintain your Lawn Always Beautiful
1. Pick up all kinds of objects from the lawn,
such as: stones, roots, pieces of wood,
glass or bricks. These objects, besides
damaging your lawn mower and making
your work difficult, may also cause serious
accidents, when thrown in high speed by
the cutting blade.
2. Try to eradicate all noxious weeds
before mowing the lawn, manually or
with chemical products under technical
guidance. Avoid cutting them with
the lawn mower. Most of these weeds
regenerate easily and its superficial
cut will not eliminate them. In some
cases, mainly in their flowering time,
this procedure might even cause its
dissemination.
3. Try to know the species of grass you
have in your lawn. Density, colour and
regeneration capacity are qualities that vary
among the several species. So, you may
know if you are taking good care of your
lawn and in the correct way. Following you
will find some characteristics of the main
species of grass used in Brazil.
