The perfect English home has a perfect green lawn. This perfect green lawn is like a alive carpet: it has a uniform texture of grass with no daisies, dandelions alternatively worm casts, it is perfectly smooth and flat (perfect for croquet or lawn bowls), and it is a invariable shade of pure emerald green. It is always clipped to one exact altitude of approximately an inch or so long. And when it is mown, a subtle damask-like pattern of stripes escaping back and forth ought seem.
Now it's time to wake up. This arrange of lawn was the ideal set down in the days when stately homes employed a small militia of full-time domestic detergents, including several gardeners. This idealised lawn is a full-time job, requiring newspaper (or even twice-weekly) mowings, not to mention watering, coiling and scrupulous weeding. Most of us - even now we employ a professional gardener to attach to our lawns - can't supply the time to do this. These days, you should only put this sort of effort into a lawn if you are a full time gardener at a majestic home, or if you are the groundsman/woman for your local cricket club - and even then, only the pitch absences quite such grooming.
The premier object maximum of us can do to make life a bit easier for ourselves when it comes to lawns is to stop worrying about having a perfect even texture. You will retention yourself a world of bother - not to mention problems with chemicals - if you leave lawn "weeds" in their area. Daisies, case in point should be left. As somebody once said, if daisies were sold in clusters, we'd laud them extra and go to large lengths to have them ashore our lawns. The same goes for other things like dandelions and clover. Besides, a lawn with more than one category of plant growing in it is more resistant to diseases and is more normal.
However, if things obtain also weedy, it could be good to re-sow your lawn equitable to readdress the poise of things. Grasses are tough plants and will take over, given a bit of encouragement.
Dogs - especially bitches - can scald patches in a lawn with their urine. To discourage this happening, reduce the urine later they have "been" to stop it burning the grass. Don't anxiety about worm casts. Worms are vital for the health of the soil, so don't try to slay them. Those worm casts are quite wealthy in nutrients. If you absolutely can't stand them, rake them off and put them into a bloom patch or vegetable garden - the plants there will appreciate them.
A well aerated soil is a healthy one. An old dupe for improving drainage and aerating the soil is a to steer long thin cavities into it. In the quondam, gardeners used someone like clogs with an inverted mattress of nails on the base to pedal in the chasms. You could make your own out of pieces of lumber and driving hooks into them - tie these onto the bottoms of your shoes (point side downwards, of way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!) and hike about the lawn in them - possibly meantime you're mowing the lawn.
If you live in a drier zone and dislike mowing the lawns during summer, make life simpler for yourself and don't water the lawn. In the British climate (and even in drier climates), the lawn will not die off for lack of water. It won't have the perfect emerald shade of a well-watered one and may look a more dusty khaki, yet you won't must mow it in the heat.
The ultimate cheat as lawns namely no to cut them at always. This namely no recommended if you have children who favor to melodrama appearance and ambition inevitably lose darling dolls in the result. It will too make outside games like croquet and petanque preferably difficult, if I were you impossible (picnics, however, have a delightfully secluded nature in a long lawn). Long grass namely very beauteous, especially in the wind and/or with a blend of wildflowers growing inside it. Cats and additional small beasts love lawns favor this, for it gives them superfluity of space to hide in.
To dodge human thinking that you're slovenly and idle and to show that you are leaving your lawn long along alternative, mow a path or 2 through it and keep this ne
