If you take the world statistics, the most common method of lawn-a roll.
The idea to grow lawns in nurseries as piece plants, appeared long ago, and here to realize it began a little more than 50 years ago.
The technology was developed, according to which lawns are grown for about 2 years in special nurseries. In the process of growing it repeatedly fertilized, cleaned of weeds, regularly mowed. When the through grass cover is not visible the ground, the lawn is considered ready.
Further, the technique cuts it and rolls it into rolls, convenient for transportation and subsequent laying.
Roll lawn today is produced in 54 countries that use a single standard of fabric:
- standard roll — total area of 0.8 square meters, 0,4×2 m, the thickness of the root layer of 1.5-2 cm mowing height of 4-6 cm, weight 15-20 kg
- smart roll — 0.53 m wide and up to 25 m long, 2 to 6 cm high
- big-roll — 1.2 m wide and up to 25 m long, 2 to 6 cm thick, usually used for areas of 30 acres
Choosing a lawn for the garden
Turf is a perishable product, so large amounts usually sold under the order, but the rolls are always available.
If you choose a lawn from what is, pay attention to the uniformity of moisture, if the turf is dry, the lawn may not survive. In General, the grass should not be hard or dry.
After buying a rolled lawn should be immediately laid, as the expectation can have a bad impact on its quality. If you can not quickly land, you can store the rolls no more than a day, roll them somewhere in the shade, provided constant moisture.
Preparing the soil for planting a roll lawn is no different from preparing for a lawn.
Lay out rolls by joints each other in a checkerboard pattern, shifting each following row on a half of a cloth. The edges of the canvases should fit tightly to each other. Overlapping or free space between them is not allowed. After you need to walk around the rink. At the end of the abundant water to the state of the swamp.
The first 7 days of the lawn should always keep a little wet, the first mowing can be carried out on 6-7 day. In 10 days the lawn is ready for football or shashlik with dancing.
Care of rolled lawn
Roll lawn needs the same care as the sowing. The same procedures are performed at the same frequency.
Special attention should be paid to the haircut. They must be regular and correct.
It is not necessary to cut very short, as it can harm the surface, and do not cut the wet grass, it can also injure the lawn. In spring and summer the lawn is cut 2 times a week, late summer/early autumn – once a week.
If you pay attention, the difference between seeding and roll lawn is only in the planting methods. Maybe someone will argue, and say more about the difference in price, but it is easy to calculate that the care of the lawn for 2-3 years at a cost can be even more expensive than the roll, and this is not counting the spent “human energy”.
Thus, the roll lawn is no more expensive and no less beautiful than the seeding. But quickly fit, with proper care for a long time lives, in General, it is just beautiful!
