Summer was a blast, but all good things must come to an end. I am not that much of a summer person. I actually prefer the fall over the summer. It still has some decently warm days when you can enjoy the great outdoors. The scenery will also start changing again in the fall. Trees will turn yellow, golden, orange, and red. These are the best days of the year. When it’s decently warm, and you can truly admire all of fall’s beauty. In the fall, your home garden can also do with some attention. Most people will re-seed their lawn, and before doing that, you need to scarify your lawn. This does not mean scaring your lawn by talking about pavements near it. Scarifying means that you are vertically cutting the grass. In doing so, you create more room for the new seeds to grow. Today, I will be talking about how and when to scarify your lawn, and how you should then sow your seeds.
Scarifying the lawn
Before sowing grass seeds, you must scarify the lawn. Your newly sown grass seeds need space if they are ever going to thrive. The grass plant main growth takes place at the crown. The grass blades spawn from the crown. The more space you have between these crowns, the healthier your lawn is. But your lawn can get overpopulated by moss and weeds. The real moment when to scarify lawn is around October. The soil temperature should be around 10 degrees. By scarifying, you cut open the top layer, allowing the grass enough space to grow. Therefore, before sowing grass seeds. It is important to first scarify your lawn.
Sowing grass seeds
Before you start sowing grass seeds, it’s important to think about the type of seeds you are going to sow. There are different types of grass seeds. Some types of grass seeds are perfect for sowing a new lawn. You could also purchase seeds that do better in the shade than normal types of grass. If your patch of green will be heavily used, you could also buy some high resistance grass seeds. These seeds are stronger than normal seeds and regrow much faster. Fall, in all its beauty, can also bring some challenges. However, you should now be fully prepared if you want to re-sow your lawn. Make sure to buy the right seeds and to first scarify your lawn.
