By Paul Price


There are many things done to maintain a lawn. As a property owner you must always be aware of such things. Lawn spraying and fertilization are some of the procedures done. All the maintenance procedures need to be well understood to make sure they are effective. Understanding these procedures makes sure that your lawn stays healthy. While taking care of the lawns, there are some conditions that must be well understood and adhered to.

Soils vary in nutrient value and whether spraying, or applying fertilizers, it is best to know what the soil has and what it lacks. This will be a great factor when choosing the right fertilizers and the spraying herbicides or supplements for the turf. Some herbicides are best used at other times and not the rest. This will greatly assist when making the right choice.

Within a year, there are different seasons. These seasons may vary depending on the location and the climate. These seasons determine if it is the right time to apply fertilizer or spray the field. It is not advisable to apply fertilizers during the spring time. When fertilizer is applied at this time, leaf growth is stimulated at the expense of the root. Some lawns need to be fertilized few times in a year as compared to others. This depends on the quality of the lawn.

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.

When maintaining any lawns that are low in terms of quality, it is important to understand that it is good to fertilize the lawn when the leaves of the grass have stopped to grow. During this time, the grass grows stronger as the nitrogen from the fertilizer keeps the roots strong. To make sure that the fertilizer is fully utilized, the grass should be watered after applying the fertilizer.

There are machines that should be used when applying fertilizer. These machines are called spreaders and there are two of them. They are the drop spreader and the broadcast or the rotary spreader. They are both used to spread fertilizer on fields but used differently as one is for small lawns and the other for large lawns.

Large lawns require one to use the rotary or the broadcast as more fertilizer is spread in a large area. The fertilizer spreads 10 feet or more. The spreader does not cover the whole field, but a large area is covered. The drop spreader is the one used to apply fertilizer in small fields. Both of the spreaders are effective.

Lawns too like any other part of a field gets affected by weeds. There are measures that can be used to control the weeds. With lawns, herbicides can be used to get rid of the weeds. It is crucial that the right herbicide is used. This will ensure that the lawns are not damaged and that they indeed grow well. Always remember to use the right herbicide. This is the one that controls the target weeds without damaging the grass.
