There’s no better sight than seeing your lawn ravishing and flourishing with green grasses. I remember when I was a kid and my family would visit my grandparents’ home every summer. From afar, it was easy to recognize which property was theirs. The different colored flowers were in full bloom and looked as if they were inviting passersby to gaze at their impeccable beauty. The grasses were so green that you’d not wish to be anywhere else but on the ground, with your cloth spread all over, and you enjoying your foods and just having fun with the family. But it is always puzzling to know how to grow grass fast. I read every book there is about grasses, watched every video, and here are some of the tricks I discovered!
Step 1: Know when to start growing grass.
Step 2: Soil assessment is key.
Before spreading your grass seeds, ensure the good condition of your soil. By assessing the quality of your soil, you will have the idea as to the quantity and kind of fertilizer to utilize. Should there be any need for more fertilizer, start by adding only four to six inches.
Step 3: Soil preparation never goes out of the negotiation.
Step 4: Level out the lawn where you plan to grow grass.
Step 5: Seed dissemination.
Now that your soil is ready, start spreading your seeds. Ensure good coverage by spreading the seeds in a single direction all over your lawn. Then, repeat the process of seed dissemination, but this time, cross it over. Imagine creating a crisscross pattern. That’s how you are going to spread the seed.
Step 6: Your soil needs some dressing.
Step 7: Water the grass seeds.
Water is life, and just as much as we need water, plants need water too. This is one of the most basic things taught to us way back when we were still in our elementary years. There are various ways to water your seeds. The first method is through the use of an oscillating sprinkler. Do you have multiple sprinklers available? Try to set them up in different locations in your lawn to provide moisture to the whole area. If you want to achieve better results, water the seeds for five to ten minutes during the first ten consecutive days.
