A lot of times, when you see the browning of your yard, it is because you might have caught some mold, and it is making your lawn look unattractive. I’m sure if you haven’t had it to you probably know somebody who has had a brown fungus yard. Sometimes your yard might have ended the season looking good, but the next season, you are wondering what happened to your beautiful lawn.
No need to panic. Because you can wake up your brown yard.
The only thing you have to be ready for is a little bit of work. But I’m sure it’s worth it if you cherish your lawn. Below, I am going to give you something that will help you, followed by a video to make it easy to see that all hope is not lost.
What you want to do is remove all the dead grass from your lawn. You take an iron rake and pull it up from around the good grass.
Once you’ve pulled all of it out, you want to add some starter fertilizer to the lawn. When you buy your fertilizer, you want to get one with a large amount of phosphorus.
What that will do is give your seeds help in producing good root growth.
Note: When getting your fertilizer, it would be wise to consult with your local Home & Garden store to assist you in determining which type you should purchase.
Spread your fertilizer out over the lawn. You want to be careful not to over-fertilize because it will burn the grass. Using a spreader is the best way.
Once this is done, you can add some grass seed to the lawn. Now you have to determine what blend is best, depending on where you are and the area you are planting in. Don’t be shy while spreading it.
Germination of the seeds is important so that you will have good grass coverage.
Now it is time to spread the seeds around the lawn. You can do this by using the back of a rake. Mix it really well into the soil.
To help protect your seeds, we will add some compost on top of them, about a 1/4 inch of coverage. This will help keep it from washing away in rainfall, if you should have some, and at the same time help the seeds to stay moist.
The other way it protects itself is from the sun. If it is exposed to the sun, your seeds will dry out, and this will be a major reason why it doesn’t germinate.
Next, we water it lightly. Too much water can make the seeds run with the water, and we don’t want that to happen. All you are trying to do is keep it moist as much as you can with about a 1/4 inch of water.
Just treat your newly planted lawn with water regularly, and in just a little time, you will have a nice-looking, healthy lawn.
When selecting your fertilizer, it would be wise to consult with your local Home & Garden store to help you determine the best type to purchase.
