The 6 most important cultivation practices for home lawns are:
1. Proper mowing.
2. Deep soil aeration.
3. Dethatching.
4. Liming to neutralize soil acidity.
5. Proper, but not excessive watering.
6. Balanced fertilization.
These practices allow for better soil structure and better physical properties such as:
- Enhanced water infiltration and retention
- Enhanced gas exchange within the soil.
This results in deep dense roots for optimum nutrient uptake. This will result in a lawn that is full of vigour, less vulnerable to diseases, insect pests, temperature extremes and weed encroachment.
