To understand the intricacies of such an important component of a well -groomed lawn as watering, as well as to avoid the main errors, knowledge of the types of watering of a decorative lawn helps (in brackets an approximate flow consumption of water per hundredth is indicated):
– Planting (0.5-1M3). From the name it is clear what is carried out when sowing lawn grass or spreading a roll lawn. The goal is to create optimal conditions for germination and survival. It is produced almost daily. When carrying out planting watering, it is necessary to use a sprinkler, and not a hose with a direct stream: firstly, so the water evenly and gradually soaks the soil; Secondly, you will not wash the seeds and the entire fertile layer of the lawn, simultaneously destroying the even surface of the lawn.
– Vegetation (2.5 – 3m3). At its core, the main type of watering work, supporting a reasonable level of soil moisture.
The frequency and abundance are associated with the weather and the type of soil, so sandy soil evaporates moisture faster than clay or loam.
It is produced early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the rapid evaporation of water from the soil. For “well -being” grass is better if the water is not ice (from the pool, tank, etc.D.). The main rule: to wait for the drying of the earth, without “swamping” leading to decay and diseases. As well as planting preferably produced using sprinklers. Actually, like the departure itself, with the help of motorcycles.
– Feed (1-1.5m3). It is carried out when fertilizers are made. It is carried out with the same precautions as the landing one, to comply with the uniform distribution of fostering substances.
– refreshing (0.5-1m3). Protects delicate emerald greens from an air drought. But be careful, drops of water during daily watering can be lenses attracting the sun’s rays – this is how the lawn will receive a burn. This is an optional type of watering, usually it is used by those who want to see their lawn in perfect condition. In the UK, such a wasteful use of water is sometimes even condemned: adult public lawns and some private ones are not watered from fundamental considerations even in drought, arguing that an elderly lawn with a good long -term basis is perfectly restored and it is worth only raining.
– Moisture decisive (6-12 m3). Produced in the fall (in the winter), less often in the spring. Designed to create a supply of moisture in deep soil layers. Water volumes depend on the type of soil and the depth of groundwater.
– Cuts (2-2.5 m3). It is performed in the spring in anticipation of frosts. Water consumption – 2-2.5m3 per hundred.
