Strengthening and regenerating lawns

A comprehensive programme of care always results in a bright green lawn. But when caring for your lawn, you do not need to resort to chemicals. Instead, you can simply use our products with Effective Microorganisms. It’s best to start when you sow your lawn.

This is how to do it:

For a healthy green lawn, add Roots and EM ceramic powder to water, mix well and water your lawn evenly with the mixture. Spread once over the seeded area.

5 litres of Roots
1 kg of ceramic powder
100 litres of water

The Aquamix dispenser allows you to water the lawn and apply the products in one step.

It is difficult to achieve a healthy green lawn without regular care. Therefore, spray your lawn regularly with our organic plant strengthener Roots.

Lawn care through the seasons

Proper lawn care in spring: the right way to start

After the winter, most lawns look pretty unsightly. The right time for mowing, fertilising and sowing has come when the soil temperature is about ten degrees. At lower temperatures, the lawn does not grow.
When the time comes, the first thing to do is to remove any remaining leaves and branches from the lawn. Then it can be mowed. Set the mower to the lowest setting – the grass should be mowed as short as possible. This gives you a good overview of the condition of the lawn. The areas that are in the sun are usually fine. In shady areas, on the other hand, the lawn is often full of moss.
Important: the blades of the lawn mower should be sharp so that the green is actually cut and not torn out.

Caring for your lawn in summer

Watering your lawn is one of the most important things to do in the summer if there is not enough rainfall. How much water a lawn needs in summer ultimately depends on the amount of sunshine, the temperature and the wind.

If you are an amateur gardener, your lawn generally needs more water than you think. As a general rule, you should use 15 to 25 litres of water per square metre each week. Light soils need less water than loamy soils. But too much water can also damage your lawn, because it expels air from the soil and causes the roots to rot. Always smell your soil samples. If they stink or are grey-blue in colour, there is definitely too little air and too much water in the soil.

Lawn care in autumn: preparing for winter

Your lawn still needs looking after in the autumn. This will help your lawn to get off to a healthy start in spring and also save you a lot of work. Autumn lawn care is a great opportunity to make up for any spring oversights. It also prepares your lawn perfectly for the winter. If you didn't dethatch your lawn in spring, you can do it in autumn. The best time for this is from mid-September to mid-October. In autumn, it is also important to aerate compacted lawns.
Grasses don't grow as fast in autumn, but you still need to keep mowing. Depending on the weather, you can mow until October or November. Most of the time, you don't need to mow every week – but once a fortnight is often still necessary. For the last cut, you should mow the lawn to 5-6 cm. Any blades that are too long will be compressed by the snow over the winter. In this state, diseases and fungi can spread more easily in the lawn.

Lawn care in the winter: What needs to be done

In the cold winter months and during long frosty periods, you do not need to do much to your lawn. If you prepare your lawn properly in the autumn, it will be fine until the warm days of spring arrive. Make sure that you aerate, fertilise and mow your lawn before the first frost of the season.
