Making your Lawn the Best
It is immaterial where you live; all homeowners have the
dream to have a lush green carpet like lawn year after year. Briggs &
Stratton the leader in lawn mower technology sets our some basic steps to
achieve your dream of having a carpet like lawn year after year. These steps
include control of weeds, proper fertilizing, regular mowing using Briggs &
Stratton mowers, regular raking and aerating the lawns.
Most lawn are bombarded with broad leafed weeds especially
the dandelion, spread very quickly. These weeds usually germinate during the
fall season. So during the early fall, efforts must be made to eradicate the
weeds by using appropriate herbicides. If herbicides are applied as the weeds
germinate, you are bound to get the best results. Briggs & Stratton
recommend that you need to apply herbicides for the broad leaf weed at half the
recommended quantity as this is sufficient to kill weeds which have just
germinated.
Lawns require regular fertilizing. Briggs & Stratton
recommends the use of proper mixture of slow and fast release nitrogen
fertilized and spread using rotary spreaders for best results. Full and uniform
application of fertilizer gives you the golf course look to your lawns. Fall
fertilizing is recommended to ensure healthy grass in spring.
Briggs & Stratton always recommend the use of their
lawn mowers for a uniform and fine cut of overgrown grass. Regular mowing
ensure that the grass get enough simulation for growth. Mowing has to follow
certain rules. Read the instruction manual that comes with your mower for
proper and perfect mowing.
All lawns require regular cleaning. Debris accumulates in
all sorts of forms on the lawns and regular raking ensures a clean and healthy
lawn. Leaves should be ground and spread over the lawn to serve as manure to
the soil.
Regular aerating of lawn helps breaking up of compacted
soil and spurts growth. It also removes excess thatch, allows sunlight to
penetrate the soil, and allows the fertilizers to spread evenly. Briggs &
Stratton recommends the use of its aerating machines for proper and uniform
aerating of your lawn.
Briggs & Stratton says that too much of too little of
every thing is bad for your lawn. Make and proper routine and follow it and you
will see the result for your self.
