Warm and sunny days can negatively affect the condition of our lawn. For the turf, especially the coming time will be difficult when there will be no high temperatures and sunlight, which is just beginning to get used to after colder spring days. Therefore, we must properly take care of our lawn so that it does not completely get it.
High temperatures affect our lawn. As a result, after a few days we can see the dried grass tips. However, these are not the only effects, because during such weather the most happens just below the surface. Because it affects the fact that The soil becomes very hard, so the roots cannot collect water.
Therefore, lawns dry quickly, especially those that grow on extremely dry soils. What’s more, The emerging thermal stress, associated with the first higher temperatures, contributes to the fact that the plants enter the defense. It manifests itself in the fact that the turf limits its growth and also inhibits regeneration.
During the warmer days, we must in particular be careful not to additionally burden the turf, making mistakes that will worsen its condition. First of all, let’s not reach for the sprinkler in the morning or noon, wanting to moisturize ours and protect him from drying.
This is a serious mistake that can completely destroy our turf, because the water combined with the intense sun will work like a lens, thus causing the burns of the plant. In addition The growing temperature will speed up the evaporation and make most moisture away before reaching the roots.
Another popular mistake is lawn briefly, but often. In this way, we contribute to the fact that the roots will develop shallow and the turf will become sensitive to dryness.

Therefore, the best what we can do for our lawn on warm days, is watering it at the right time, i.e. in the evening, just before darkness. Then the sun is not a threat, and water evaporation significantly decreases.
Thanks to this, the water we provide has a chance to penetrate deep into the soil and stay in it for longer. In this way the digestive hydration will improve and it will stimulate the regeneration. As a result, the flexibility of the blades will improve significantly.
Additionally, if you want to have a positive effect on the grassland after warm days, it’s worth it Limit mowing the grass to a minimum, because with longer blades of the soil heats up less. We also avoid nitrogen fertilization at this time, and instead, if you need to use organic preparations or low -concentration conditioners.
