Tips to Maintain Your Lawn Always Beautiful
Cut
4. A careful cut is essential. The first cut
should be done as soon as the grass is
rooted, in order to force its growth and
horizontal expansion. After that, cut it each
time it surpasses 5 to 7 cm height. Anyway,
in warmer seasons, the higher the grass
is, the stronger it will be, once that it can
better keep the soil humidity. But do not
exagerate, or it will loose its uniformity and
beauty.
5. Do not cut the grass when it is too wide,
avoiding gaps and burnt aspect. On the
other hand, frequent cuts tend to weaken the
nutritious reserves of the grass, being more
susceptible to noxious weeds and diseases.
6. Another care that should be taken during
lawn mowing is the cutting direction,
that should
soil compactation. Soil compactation
reduces the oxygen available for the
roots and hampers its normal growth.
In some cases, it may ruin the grass. For
instance, if this time you mow the lawn in
North-South direction, the next one should be
East-West direction, and so on.

be alternated, avoiding
7. What should be done with the straw:
leave it on the lawn or take it away?
By one way, as it decays, it renders
back to the soil the nutrients previously
extracted from it. On the other hand,
gathering the
aeration and luminosity to the soil (which
are necessary for the development of the
lawn) and the temperature and humidity
are lower, thus reducing the risks of
diseases, and even improving its aspect.
