How To Go About Lawn Spraying And Fertilization

By Paul Price


As the property owners it is always good to make sure that your home is in great shape. Particularly, the lawns should be part of such activities. Lawn spraying and fertilization are two major things carried out during the maintenance of a lawn. These are two of the many procedures undertaken to ensure that your grass is well maintained. To ensure that the two maintenance procedures are effective, there are conditions that must be fully understood.

Climate is different depending with the location. Climate change could greatly affect how plants do. The different conditions provide different options. It is evident as some plants do well in some regions and not others. To make sure that the plant that is to be planted does well in the field, the soil must be studied first. This will facilitate by making sure that the soil has all the required nutrients for the plant to do well. And if the nutrients are not there, then the right fertilizer and herbicides will be used.

The climate plays a very big role as understanding the weather patterns helps to determine the right time to spray, or apply fertilizer. There is no way fertilizers can be applied during the spring. This stimulates leaf growth, thus weakening the plant as the roots grow weaker. However, the rate at which a lawn is fertilized depends on the quality of the turf.

Any lawns that are low in terms of quality only needs to be fertilized a few times in a year as compared to a high quality lawn. High quality lawns require high maintenance and low quality lawns require low or medium maintenance. Understanding the kind of maintenance your lawn needs, a schedule can be prepared and followed to make sure the field is well fertilized well throughout the year.

Well, after applying fertilizer; it is important to make sure that they has been watered to make the fertilizer effective. For the ones that are low in quality, make sure that fertilizer is applied when their leaves have stopped. This works a lot and also strengthens the grass as the roots get stronger from the nitrogen that is provided by the fertilizer.

When applying fertilizers, spreaders should be used. It is not advisable to use hands. Well, there are two kinds of spreaders; the drop spreader and the rotary or broadcast spreader. At least with a professional, they will be able to know some of the spreaders that they should use for each.

Broadcast spreaders are preferred for large lawns as they can throw fertilizers for 10 feet or even more. This can cover a large area of the lawn. Although they may not apply fertilizers evenly, they at least cover 70%. For small lawns, the drop spreader is the best. But to make sure that there is precision, it should be applied twice in right angles.

To control weeds in the lawns, herbicides are used. To make sure that they is not damaged by the herbicide, choose the herbicide that controls the target weeds without damaging the grass. It is essential to use the right herbicide all the times as this will take good care of the lawn.
