Whats Really Behind A Beautiful Lawn?

• Many dont realize that the soil in which the
  grass of our lawns grows in, is alive and teeming
  with microorganisms. Made up of sand, clay, silt,
  organisms and organic material, the soil is in
  fact a mini ecosystem right in your back yard.
  With the organic material and microorganisms,
  soil is set apart from plain old dirt, and along
  with the decayed animals and plants that make up
  the organic material, your lawn has a fantastic
  base upon which to grow and flourish. However,
  the soil needs to be kept fertile for your lawn
  to look healthy all year round, and so here are a
  few tips for maintaining fertile soil in your
  yard

• When mowing, mulch
• The clippings left over from when you mow your
  lawn act as a wonderfully natural fertiliser for
  the soil and give back to the soil whats removed
  with every mow. Grass finds being mowed extremely
  stressful, and so its important not to remove
  more than a third of a blade at any one time.
• Create a compost pile
• Composting is another great way of naturally
  fertilizing your soil, and can include anything
  from fruit and vegetable scraps, to eggshells and
  leaves. Once the pile that youve created has
  been given some time to break down, it can be
  spread over your lawn in the same way as a
  regular fertiliser.

• Purchase a high-quality fertiliser
• There are some incredible fertilisers available
  on the market today, that have been crafted after
  years of research and contain the perfect blend
  of nutrients for the average lawn. There is
  commonly a combination of nitrogen, phosphorous
  and potassium inside a good fertilizer, and some
  companies have even formulated their fertilisers
  so that they contain time release pearls, meaning
  your lawn is continually being fed and nurtured
  at its roots.
• If youre desperate to achieve a beautifully lush
  and healthy, green lawn, then the reality is that
  it wont happen without a little bit of help.

• If your lawn is disappointing despite your best
  efforts, it might be time to call in a lawncare
  specialist and have them diagnose the soil to see
  if its poor quality might be affecting the lawn,
  or whether there are any other underlying issues
  that need to be addressed. Their help and
  guidance will get you started on the path to
  greener grass, and you could soon be looking at
  reaching the dizzying heights of lawn stardom,
  with the best lawn in the neighbourhood!
