Organic lawns basically refer to a garden and its management without using any chemical and artificial fertilizers. Fertilizers do enrich the soil with essential nutrients for once but after some time of its use, the soil becomes barren and loses its fertility. Various other alternatives that are used in order to enhance the yield and production in organic lawns is through the use of natural predators like nematodes that helps in preventing infestation in the lawn with ants and crane fly larvae. Perhaps you are moving into a newly constructed neighborhood or maybe you are unhappy with your existing yard and you want to completely rebuild it? Whatever the reason you may have for starting a new lawn, we are sure that you want to take all the necessary steps to make sure your work is productive. Hedge shears are a must for any gardener that has shrubs. You can purchase hand shears or electric shears. However, if you have a lot of shrubs, you may want to opt for electric shears. Please don’t forget the garden hose! Many gardeners make a major mistake when they buy a garden hose. They buy one that is too short. During these times, the soil is still warm. This allows the fragile germination process to take place and the roots a chance to firmly establish themselves. Seeding a new lawn in the late summer and early fall will keep your new seed from being exposed to high temperatures. It will also cut down on pesky weed problems. The least expensive route to planting a new lawn is to plant grass seed. However, if you choose the wrong kind of grass seed, all of your time and money will be wasted. Before you go out and purchase grass seed, you should know what type of grass will grow in your environment and growing season. Do you need a cool season grass or a warm season grass? Having a soil test can truly save you money in the long run. Who wants to purchase fertilizer if it is not needed? Likewise, you may hurt your lawn by adding things to it that it does not need. Lawn grass grows best when it is planted in soil that has a pH of 6.2 - 6.5. What this means is that your lawn grass will receive the most nutrients if it is planted in soil within this pH range.
