Lush green lawns are simply gorgeous-but it can take plenty of work to achieve that stunning emerald look. Watering your lawn correctly is absolutely vital to keeping your lawn healthy and green in any climate. Proper watering of your lawn can even help preserve water, as you’ll be using it more efficiently, with less waste.

When and How to Water



You don’t necessarily need to start watering your lawn as soon as the first few warm summer days appear. You’ll actually achieve a healthier lawn, with a more extensive and deep root system, if you hold off watering until your lawn begins to enter a mild state of drought. When your lawn begins to enter this state, the grass will turn a darker shade of green, and footprints made when you walk across the lawn will remain imprinted, instead of the blades quickly bouncing back up.



If you’re able to, watering your lawn early in the day is best. Midday watering is inefficient and may be detrimental to your lawn, as moisture will evaporate quickly at this time. Watering in the evening can help cultivate lawn diseases, as the grass will remain damp for longer periods. However, if you live in a very hot climate, watering during the evening is preferable, as less moisture will be lost due to evaporation, and temperatures will not be cold enough to prevent grass blades drying completely overnight.



One of thee most important points in watering your lawn is ensuring that you maintain an even distribution of water over the entire lawn, and that no spot is either missed or flooded with excess water.



The best way to achieve this objective is with a sprinkler system, rather than with a hose. To ensure your system is providing even coverage over your lawn, place some empty cans or other straight-sided containers at various spots over the lawn, and then check how much water each contains after a watering session.

How Much Water?



Thorough, less frequent watering is much more efficient-and healthy for your lawn-than frequent, light watering. A good, heavy watering that penetrates deep into the soil helps to promote a healthy root system, and also discourages the growth of weeds.



In normal conditions, grasses need between three quarters of an inch and one full inch of water per week to maintain that rich green color, and to keep the lawn healthy and actively growing, as well as attractive. In very hot climates, more frequent watering may be needed. Check your lawn for blade ‘bounce’ to ensure your lawn receives enough water.



Remember that this requirement includes both precipitation (rain) and watering. If you receive an inch of rainfall in any given week, you can hold off watering until it’s needed. In addition, it’s important to realize that this one inch isn’t an absolute requirement-your lawn won’t sicken and die if it doesn’t get an inch every week, but too much water in a short time can be harmful. If, for example, you know rain is expected very soon, you can safely hold off watering until after the rain arrives.

How Long?



Each watering of your lawn should provide plenty of water for the active root zone of the grass. The length of time this takes depends on the type of watering system you use, and the type of soil you have. In general, most types of grass need to be soaked to a depth of eight to twelve inches. Some grasses, such as bluegrass, need to be soaked to a depth of six to eight inches.



To calculate how long you’ll need to run your sprinkler system to achieve the right depth, do the following:



1. Run your sprinkler system for fifteen minutes.



2. After 24 hours, drive a screwdriver or other implement into the earth to check how deep the water penetrated. You’ll be able to drive the implement easily through moist soil, but once you hit dry soil it will become difficult.



3. Divide 120 by the depth of moist soil you determined in step 2. If the water soaked in to a depth of three inches, for example, you’ll end up with a figure of 40 minutes. That means it will take two hours for the lawn to be soaked to a depth of nine inches, and two hours and forty minutes to get soaked to a depth of twelve inches.



Water Conservation Tips

• If you live in a climate that routinely achieves very high temperatures during the summer, consider letting your lawn go dormant as an alternative to watering.
• Purchase a rain gauge so that you can determine how much rain your lawn receives, and avoid over-watering.
• Aerate your lawn to allow the grass to use water more efficiently.

Did you know that different types of grasses are more suitable for different climates? There are types of grasses that are suitable for different climates due to the different needs and varieties. You can find a type of grass for any climate that you need, including a hot, dry climate or a moist climate and everything in between. If you happen to live in a more southernly climate, then you will find that these three types of grasses will work the best for you.


1. Zoysia

If you need a grass that is very tolerant of the cold, then you will want to choose Zoysia. This type of grass has a very dark and dense turf. A pH level between six and seven in the most ideal spot for this type of grass.


If you are growing Zoysia from seed, then you may find that it can be slow to take root. If you do not have the patience to wait, then you may want to choose sod over planted grass from seed.


Zoysia is more suited for an area with full sun, but you can find a few sub-varieties that will also grow good in the more shady areas. Emerald Zoysia has a high shade tolerance for those shady areas. This type of grass has some drought tolerance, but it is important that you watch the water level carefully and ensure that if the drought lasts longer than a week that you water your grass. Zoysia can make it well through shorter dry spells, but not ones that last a long time. You should fertilize your Zoysia grass in both the fall and the spring.


This type of grass is the most attractive looking of the warm climate grasses, but it does take a little more time and effort than the other types. If you are not able to give the grass the time and energy that it will need, then you will want to consider one of the other types of grasses for your yard.


2. Bermudagrass

Bermudagrass is one type of grass that can give you great rewards and great pain. It can quickly get out of control and take over your flowerbeds, causing them to sprout grass due to the large amount of seeds that are released. This extra work and frustration can be worth it, however, if you do not have enough time in the day to take care of your yard. It will last for many years, even if you do not take very good care of it. It is also a great substitute for perennial ryegrass during the winter. You commonly see this kind of grass on the side of the roads in the South, mainly because it is hardy and durable enough for people to walk on it and drive on it without harming the grass.


For Bermudagrass to thrive, it needs warm weather. This grass grows very fast and is inexpensive compared to other kinds of grass. You need to make sure that it is only used on a lawn that gets full sun, because it does not flourish in shade areas.


3. Centipede


Centipede grass does not take much maintenance, either. It does not need to be mowed frequently or fertilized on a regular schedule which is great news if you do not like to work in your yard or don’t have time to work in your yard. Unlike Bermudagrass, however, it does not like heavy traffic and does not grow very fast.


Centipede grass is an ideal choice if you live in the deep South and have acidic soil. It will flourish in areas where other types of grass have not. It will grow in the shade, but it most likely will grow better if it grows in areas where there is full sun or almost full sun.


A low-nitrogen fertilizer should be used on your Centipede grass in the springtime. It is important, however, to make sure that your fertilizer is phosphorous free. The right mix for this type of grass is 15-0-15. Check the pH level of your soil as well, because it should be between 4.5 and 5 for the Centipede grass to have optimum growing conditions.


If you happen to live in the South, then you will be able to find some other types of grasses that will work as well. Some varieties of tall fescue will do well, especially the types that are drought-resistant.


Your local home and garden center will have a mix that will work for your area. Grass companies do a great deal of research and testing to create the right grass mix for different areas of the country. If you don’t have the time or money to do that yourself, then take advantage of their knowledge and choose a mix that is already prepared and ready for your lawn.

If you have ever wondered what type of lawn mower is best for you, read on. Learn which type of mower will be perfect for mowing around your garden or for mowing around your large land area. First, you need to evaluate what you will be using your lawn mower for. You should always go with a known brand, like a Toro or John Deere, as these have been awarded many times as being manufacturer of the year.

Which mower should you choose that will best suit your needs? One of the best brands of mower out today, is John Deere. These green power tools come in a wide selection and each is for many different purposes. If you plan to cultivate your own land for growing food, they have a special model just for that.

Also, the type of grass you are planning to cut should also be a factor when choosing the type of lawn mower you are going to buy. A John Deere Utility lawn tractor is perfect for those who have a yard larger than most. This mower will be able to provide you with the power and reliability that only lawn tractors can give.

A new model of lawn mower’s are the robotic lawn mowers which come equipped with a sonar detection system that will automatically slow down when it senses an object close by. These new sonar detection systems will also stop the lawn mower’s blades before they cut into the object. If you have small children or pets who like to leave objects around the yard, this is the best idea for you. Also, some of the robotic lawn mowers have touch sensors on them. These touch sensors are able to change the direction of the mower’s blades when they feel on object, other than grass of course, and will keep the object from being run over. These new detection systems make it very unlikely for any lawn mower related injuries to happen.

A big reason why the sonar detection systems were created was to make sure no pets get hurt because of a lawn mower. Since the detection systems were put on to some of the models, no incidents of injuries have been reported. Dogs have a natural inclination to bark and chase a moving object that makes noise. There is a better chance of your dog attacking these robotic lawn mowers than it is for a robotic lawn mower to hurt your family dog.

Another reason why so many people have opted to go with the robotic lawn mowers is because they move at a relatively slow pace, when compared to normal mowers, and it give people and/or pets the time to move out of the way. Even though it might take you a little longer to mow your lawn, it will help keep the seventy-two thousand lawn mower accidents a year from rising.

Any reliable seed house can be depended upon for good seeds; but even so, there is a great risk in seeds. A seed may to all appearances be all right and yet not have within it vitality enough, or power, to produce a hardy plant.

If you save seed from your own plants you are able to choose carefully. Suppose you are saving seed of aster plants. What blossoms shall you decide upon? Now it is not the blossom only which you must consider, but the entire plant. Why? Because a weak, straggly plant may produce one fine blossom. Looking at that one blossom so really beautiful you think of the numberless equally lovely plants you are going to have from the seeds. But just as likely as not the seeds will produce plants like the parent plant.

So in seed selection the entire plant is to be considered. Is it sturdy, strong, well shaped and symmetrical; does it have a goodly number of fine blossoms? These are questions to ask in seed selection. If you should happen to have the opportunity to visit a seedsman’s garden, you will see here and there a blossom with a string tied around it. These are blossoms chosen for seed. If you look at the whole plant with care you will be able to see the points which the gardener held in mind when he did his work of selection.

In seed selection size is another point to hold in mind. Now we know no way of telling anything about the plants from which this special collection of seeds came. So we must give our entire thought to the seeds themselves. It is quite evident that there is some choice; some are much larger than the others; some far plumper, too. By all means choose the largest and fullest seed. The reason is this: When you break open a bean and this is very evident, too, in the peanut you see what appears to be a little plant. So it is. Under just the right conditions for development this ‘little chap’ grows into the bean plant you know so well.

This little plant must depend for its early growth on the nourishment stored up in the two halves of the bean seed. For this purpose the food is stored. Beans are not full of food and goodness for you and me to eat, but for the little baby bean plant to feed upon. And so if we choose a large seed, we have chosen a greater amount of food for the plantlet. This little plantlet feeds upon this stored food until its roots are prepared to do their work. So if the seed is small and thin, the first food supply insufficient, there is a possibility of losing the little plant. You may care to know the name of this pantry of food. It is called a cotyledon if there is but one portion, cotyledons if two. Thus we are aided in the classification of plants. A few plants that bear cones like the pines have several cotyledons. But most plants have either one or two cotyledons.

From large seeds come the strongest plantlets. That is the reason why it is better and safer to choose the large seed. It is the same case exactly as that of weak children.  There is often another trouble in seeds that we buy. The trouble is impurity. Seeds are sometimes mixed with other seeds so like them in appearance that it is impossible to detect the fraud. Pretty poor business, is it not? The seeds may be unclean. Bits of foreign matter in with large seed are very easy to discover. One can merely pick the seed over and make it clean. By clean is meant freedom from foreign matter. But if small seed are unclean, it is very difficult, well nigh impossible, to make them clean.

The third thing to look out for in seed is viability. We know from our testings that seeds which look to the eye to be all right may not develop at all. There are reasons. Seeds may have been picked before they were ripe or mature; they may have been frozen; and they may be too old. Seeds retain their viability or germ developing power, a given number of years and are then useless. There is a viability limit in years which differs for different seeds. 

From the test of seeds we find out the germination percentage of seeds. Now if this percentage is low, don’t waste time planting such seed unless it be small seed. Immediately you question that statement. Why does the size of the seed make a difference? This is the reason. When small seed is planted it is usually sown in drills. Most amateurs sprinkle the seed in very thickly. So a great quantity of seed is planted. And enough seed germinates and comes up from such close planting. So quantity makes up for quality.

But take the case of large seed, like corn for example. Corn is planted just so far apart and a few seeds in a place. With such a method of planting the matter of per cent, of germination is most important indeed.

Small seeds that germinate at fifty per cent. may be used but this is too low a per cent. for the large seed. Suppose we test beans. The percentage is seventy. If low-vitality seeds were planted, we could not be absolutely certain of the seventy per cent coming up. But if the seeds are lettuce go ahead with the planting.

In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, or so Alfred, Lord Tennyson once wrote. For some of us, our thoughts tend to turn to more mundane issues, such as the color of our lawns. Getting a gorgeous green lawn requires a bit of work, and the owners of the best lawns know that work starts well before summer hits.

Raking and Thatch Removal



Raking and thatch removal are probably the first couple of things you’ll do in the spring. In fact, this actually starts in the fall, because ideally you’d have raked your lawn then as well.



Raking isn’t just about removing leaves and surface mess from your lawn-it’s also one of the best ways to control thatch (the build-up of lawn clippings and other solid waste that collects on top of the soil). For this reason, raking thoroughly and deeply is very important both in the fall and the spring, to help get your lawn ready for summer growth.



In general, a thatch of half an inch or more will need raking. If the thatch on your lawn is less than a quarter inch in depth, you might be better off leaving the deep raking until fall, as a light thatch helps improve the condition of your lawn by holding excess moisture. The exception to this is if you live in a particularly humid climate. Even a relatively thin thatch can end up holding too much moisture, and leave your lawn prey to mold.



A thorough spring raking is also a good way of getting reacquainted with your lawn after the winter break. You’ll be able to take stock of its condition, find out if there are any bare or matted patches that need taking care of, and check for pests, mold, or diseases.

Aeration



Removing thick layers of thatch from your lawn is important for helping keep the soil aerated, but if your lawn has been, a high-traffic area for several years, thatching might not be enough.



High-traffic lawns will eventually start to decline due to soil compaction, which means that air has been squeezed out of the soil over time. Compacted soil tends to suffer from excessive run-off, and will make a poor root bed for any new grass you want to sow, so it’s important to get it taken care of.



There’s one very easy-and fun-way to fix this problem, which simply involves walking all over the lawn while wearing spiked shoes. The holes you poke in the soil will aerate it, and your problem is more or less solved.



However, if your lawn is severely compacted this may not be enough. In these cases, you can rent an aeration machine from your local garden center. This easy-to-operate equipment pulls plugs of earth out of the soil to provide more extensive aeration.


Overseeding



If “dog spots” or heavy traffic has left your lawn covered in bare patches, you’ll need to apply seed to fill in the patchy parts. This technique is known as overseeding, and involves sowing grass seed over the bare patches, along with a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. Once the grass has germinated, apply a quick-release nitrogen fertilizer for a growth boost.



Note that the grass you sow is going to be competing with the existing lawn for vital nutrients. If you need to overseed, cut your lawn short before doing so, so that the seeds have a good chance to get past existing grass to the soil.



Finally, note that it’s usually best to overseed in the fall (due to the problem described in the next section). Sometimes your lawn problem will be too severe too wait, of course, but fall is generally regarded as the best time for it.

Weed Control



If your lawn has an annual problem with weeds or crabgrass, you’ll want to hold off on spring fertilization until you’ve applied pre-emergent herbicides. These herbicides address the weed control issue by preventing seeds from germinating, so that weeds are prevented from sprouting at all.



Note that if you need to overseed your lawn, pre-emergent herbicides may not be an effective option. These herbicides don’t distinguish between weed and grass seeds-they prevent both types of seeds germinating. There are one or two products on the market that allow you to overseed in spring and still use pre-emergent herbicides, depending on the type of grass you have. These include Tupersan, which is compatible with overseeding cool-season grasses.

Spring Fertilization



In the spring, slow-release fertilizer is a great kick-start for your lawn’s new growth. You don’t want to push the grass to grow if it isn’t ready, so it’s best to stay away from quick-release fertilizers, at least initially. This is particularly important if your spring weather is unpredictable, as you don’t want a situation where new spring growth is killed by a late frost.



Retest your soil regularly-every few years-to make sure you’re applying the right fertilizer for your soil type. When applying fertilizer, make sure you use the right amount for your square footage, and remember that grass growing in the shade will need around half as much as that which is consistently in sun.

Knowing a good manufacturer of a lawn tractor is like choosing a good car brand. There are several things to keep in mind when choosing a lawn tractor. Of course, when you buy this type of machinery, you do not just buy something impulsively, even if it is not what you really need. Knowing more about the specifications of the tractor and the reason behind purchasing one will help you in choosing the brand that will suit your needs.


A nice and beautifully manicured lawn and garden is definitely a sight to see whether it is in a farm, a big estate, or a house in a simple community. Looking out your window seeing your lawn well taken cared of will help ease all the tension from your mind even if it is just for a while. To accomplish this, there are things you need to consider when purchasing a lawn tractor.


There are several things to keep in mind when choosing a lawn tractor. Of course, when you buy this type of machinery, you do not just buy something impulsively, even if it is not what you really need. It is better to buy quality tractors as a long-term investment. In fact, there are several types of tractors you can choose from; this will depend on the type of job you will be using it for:


• Lawn Tractors – with an engine power that ranges from 12 up to 18 horsepower, it is the most lightweight and cheapest of its kind. Specifically made for mowing lawns. Thus, it may include a front blade or a snow thrower.

Cost: $2000 – $6000


• Yard Tractors – with a horsepower that ranges between 14 and 20, it is a cross between a lawn tractor and a garden tractor. It has a front blade, snow thrower, and sometimes a towing cart. It has more gear choices as compared to your typical lawn tractor. It even has larger and more heavy-duty transmissions.

Cost: $3500


• Garden Tractors – equipped with more attachments, such as rototillers, garden tractors a have a greater ground clearance, larger tires, and a heavier frame as well as a front axle. Its engine power has a range of 14 up to 22 horsepower.


Cost: $4500 + $600-$1000 for additional equipments


Some manufacturers make tractors that may have a mixture of the characteristics of the tractors mentioned above and are usually called mid range tractors. In purchasing a tractor, it is important to know about the features of the product. Here are some pointers on important tractor parts:


Engines


Majority of people think that the higher the horsepower the better the machinery. Do not be fooled because the efficiency of your tractor will also depend on its other parts. A tractor with a lower horsepower can also do what a higher-powered machine can but only slower.


Another thing to keep in mind about your engine is its cooling system. Those with a liquid-cooled engine might cost more than your air-cooled engines. Nevertheless, the life of your liquid-cooled engine will last longer, making the cost worth it.


Mowing Decks


A larger mowing deck does not necessarily mean that it will get the job finished faster. This is unless you plan to mow acres of land. A smaller blade may rotate faster than a larger one, making the mowing speed and forwarding speed faster.


Thus, discharges of clippings will depend on the tractor deck. It can be on the rear, side or as a type of mulch. Side discharges are not usually safe because it can fling rocks like a bullet, so rear discharge and mulching is preferred.


Transmission


The most popular type of transmissions is the “variable speed” and the “full hydro”. The hydrostatic transmission is the most expensive but the strongest. It actually makes the tractor move faster and it even has a forward and reverse gear position. On the other hand, the variable speed transmission requires shifting and has one reverse gear and several forwarding gears.


Standard gear or straight line transmissions have limited gear rations but are simple and strong.


Frames, Axels, and Bodies


One piece frames last longer than those that are assembled with bolts and screws because once these screws get loose, everything else will follow. Always remember the frame is the foundation of your machine.


Turning Radius


It is an advantage to have a small turning radius because it will help in the process of maneuvering around the lawn easier and faster. A smaller turning radius will not leave a big circle of uncut grass which you need to go back to later on.


Resale or Buying Used


Quality tractors that are made by a national manufacturer, once sold, even after using your tractor for 3 years, can still guaranteed you a half of the price value. This is unlike those bought from a mass dealer.


Safety


Most lawn tractors have features that when you get off the seat, the engine automatically shuts off. In addition, be sure to check that the engine and battery is separated from the gas tank.


With all the products available in the market it is hard to find quality ones. Although most manufacturers have their products made outside of the US, only a handful still make their products in the States. With all of these pointers in mind, it is best to ask your manufacturer on the best tractor suitable for you. Here are the top manufacturers of lawn tractors based in the US:
