My Lawn Calendar

Below are the activities specified in this 8-month calendar for you to have an understanding of the things needed in order to maintain your lawn’s healthy-looking appearance for the entire year.
January/February
For most gardeners, the months of January and February are considered to be the idlest months, but you have to go out and take a look at what the winter season has caused to your precious lawn. Go ahead and at any rate, fork the holes in flooded spots of the lawn to prevent submerged grasses from decomposing. In addition, make sure that you get rid of the branches and leaves which settled on the lawn. Get more on this at this organic lawn care tips blog.
March
This month is the ideal time for giving an initial cut to your lawn and ensure that grass growth is limited to an inch. Put weed and feed onto the lawn and then rake the dead weeds and moss out after three weeks. You have to do it regularly during this month to avoid the excessive growing of grass.
April
Put additional grass seeds to empty patches. This could likewise be the best time to make your soil better by forking the holes then sweeping a loam topsoil in the holes afterward.
May
Continue to mow on a regular basis and increase the mowing frequency if needed. Buy a few weed killers (the environmental-friendly ones) for perennial weeds which have begun to come out.
June
Mow your lawn once every week and ensure that it is mowed in various directions in order to make the grass blades stronger. Water them only if it is extremely needed and do it when the sunlight is not shining directly on the lawn so as to keep the grass from getting scorched.
July
Maintain your grass’ healthy and happy condition by putting another amount of weed and feed. Rake out and seed the empty spots afterward. Ensure that new seeds are watered as well.
August
Concentrate on keeping a lawn that is moss-free at all times and cure it if needed. Re-seed each and every empty spots immediately to maintain the grass’ thickness and healthiness, thus preventing the existence of moss.
