The most important nutrients
- Magnesium and iron: These two substances counteract the yellowing of the stems and provide a strong green.
- phosphate supports rooting. Good, especially after scarifying.
- nitrogen promotes growth and improves green color.
- potassium: Potassium is probably the most important nutrient for your lawn, because it improves the general well-being and resilience of the lawn. For example, it can easily survive frosty periods or great dryness in winter.
Fertilize lawn properly
Long-term fertilizer ensures permanently dense, healthy and vital turf.If your lawn does not look really healthy anymore, so the stalks are slightly yellowish or the grassy area seems to be gaping and a lot of weeds and moss are growing, it means: Fertilize very fast !!!
One distinguishes between Short-term fertilizer and Fertilizer, Short-term fertilizers work immediately, but not for long. That's why we advise you to take a long-term fertilizer, such as the Wolf Garten Premium Langzeitdünger
to grab.Long-term fertilizers have the perfect blend of the most important nutrients and work up to 100 days. That is, the lawn should be fertilized three times a year:
- Once at the beginning of the growing season, ie in the middle of April
- Once in July
- And one last time to the end of the growth phase in October (potassium fertilization)
In addition, long-term fertilizer strengthens the density growth, protects the lawn with proper use from burns and prevents nitrate release. But beware: The Stiftung Warentest found out that most of the gardens are overfertilized! This leads to increased weed formation and an ugly yellowing of your rasens.Also you protect your wallet and the environment and stick to the recommended fertilization times and fertilizer amounts!
Compost: The vitamin syringe for your lawn
What many hobby gardeners disregard when it comes to lawn care is the humus content in the soil. This is extremely important for water storage, nutrient balance and soil activity. Stiftung Warentest found out in a study that 50% of the examined lawns were too low in humus. So get to the compost!
So you kill two birds with one stone, because on the one hand you can make your lawn happy with the compost and on the other hand you can make compost from the grass clippings.
10 liters of compost are sufficient for about 10 square meters of lawn. In theory, you can use compost as often as you like, but we recommend that you stick to it twice a year: in spring and autumn, when the lawn grows the most. If you want to fertilize more often, you should reduce the amount of compost accordingly.
