Choice nuances
It can be grown independently. But the sowing lawn is not rolled. It should strengthen in the soil. In order not to damage it, there must be 2-3 years. The best solution is to buy a rolled lawn. It is laid in the shortest possible time, and you can use it literally immediately.
In addition, the benefits of using a lawn from rolls include:
- the installation process can be carried out from spring to late autumn;
- coloring and herbal thickness is preserved for a long time;
- does not need to remove weed plants in the first year after landing;
- minimum watering costs;
- the ability to correct the defects that have appeared for 3 weeks;
- does not require preliminary fertilizers;
- affordable price of a rolled lawn;
- resistance to mechanical stress, drought and disease.
By purchasing a lawn in rolls, close attention should be paid to the smooth location of the grass. Rolls must be rolled out correctly. There are such standards for high-quality rolled lawn:
- roll size - 2 * 0.4 m;
- weight - 16-24 kg;
- the thickness of the turf is 20-25 mm;
- herbal cover - 40-50 mm;
- lack of weed vegetation;
- single color and high density of grass.
Preparatory work
Usually laying a rolled lawn is carried out after complete arrangement of all systems of the house, including sewage. This process is performed on any type of soil. The best rooting and the excellent grass growth is provided in a normal illuminated place. Shaded terrain is clearly not suitable.
The technology of creating rolled lawns requires compliance with the timing of their use. Placeing the lawn is recommended immediately after purchase. This is due to the fact that the cut-off turde begins to dry out and rot at the air temperature more than 15ºС. As long as part of the lawn is stacked, unused rolls are necessarily placed in the shade or under a canopy of any structure.
When the lawn is based on a huge area and it is impossible to complete the work in one day, unpaid rolls unfold and water water.
Before proceeding with the creation of a rolled lawn with their own hands, it is necessary to prepare the foundation. Preparatory work consist in:
- determining the number of rolls;
- preparation of the site;
- creating a fertile soil layer;
- alignment of the plot;
- retail and soil moisture.
The amount of lawn required is defined as follows. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe processed territory is taken and is multiplied by 1.67. The resulting number reflects the number of bored rolls.
Work on the preparation of a country territory consists of such stages:
- harvesting garden garbage;
- halfing herbs and removal of the roots of trees;
- treatment with herbicide (if necessary);
- drainage device (if there is a soil with a large clay content).
Improving the characteristics of the soil can be carried out by replacing the upper layer of the soil (about 15 cm) to a more fertile layer. In the event that the soil previously feasured or differs by normal fertile qualities, it is necessary to simply disintegrate to a depth of up to 10 cm.
In the process of equalizing the area with fertile soil, a small slope is created for the flow of excess water after the rain. It should also be envisaged that the grass on the lawn was located in a temple with garden tracks.
After leveling the soil, its rigging occurs. For these purposes the rink. The maximum size of the compacted surface must not exceed the height of the track in the garden on a 25 mm. Prepared soil wetted by water flow. Whereupon optionally can fertilize soil nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium.
Getting laying turf
After preparing the soil, you can directly proceed to the device of a rolled lawn. This process consists of such steps:
- laying of rolls;
- trimming of excess lawn;
- rocks of the finished site.
The laying of rolled lawns occurs without gaps (so as not to the weeds) and without overlapping each other adjacent rolls. During work, it is forbidden to attack the rolled rolls. If such a need has appeared, then for this, flat wooden boards are used.
The fastening of the lawn to the base is made with the help of small pegs. You can not bend rolls. This can lead to the occurrence of folds, which will cause the breaking of the docking elements.
Cutting the extra part of the rolled lawn is made with a knife or a pointed bayonet shovel. To prevent the weathering of the soil, the cropped lawn is mandatoryly covered with a mulch.
Pointing the resulting site is carried out using a manual non-heavy rink. This process is necessary for a dense connection of the joints of the material. If there is too dry herbs, it is wetted.
How to carry out a lawn care
After creating a green area, it should be careed. During the first week, a careful irrigation of lawn is carried out daily. For effective adaptation of grass in a roll of soil under the lawn should be wet. Usually, the daily dose in the first days of watering is in the range of 12-15 l / m².
Watering itself is carried out by watering with a sprayer. When using the hose, it is necessary to wear a special nozzle. Only so you can avoid damage to the herbal coating with a large water pressure. After the week, the lawn can be watered every other day.
A month later, you can actively use the lawn, to carry out the first haircut and make fertilizers. The latter procedure is carried out at the rate of 2-3 kg / 100 m² with re-introduction after 2 months. Moreover, in the summer it is necessary to process with nitrogen fertilizers, and in the fall - phosphorus.
