Well-broken lawn – not only a spectacular landscape, but also “light” suburban area, which are responsible for the overall climate of the territory and regulate the humidity of the air and soil.
However, this is not the only advantage of the silky object. In addition to aesthetic qualities, he has a very utilitarian abilities, not superfluous in country life:
- On the one hand, it prevents the “spread” of the soil and prevents the growth of weeds, because the grass, which consists of lawn, form a powerful turf, to break through which the green invaders is extremely difficult.

Natural lawn
Even more affordable option, it exists on its own and practically does not need your “services”. The only thing that is required-to form its frequent mowing, then even the weeds will cease to” break out of order ” and join the total green mass.
