Convert wild meadow into lawn - That's how it's done
You may have just moved into your new house and are wondering how you can handle the wild growth in the garden? Although a beautiful meadow has its visual appeal, but also the disadvantage that you should not enter it - so it is unsuitable as a play or lying area. With our tips, you transform your wild meadow into a beautiful, green lawn.
Prepare soil for a new sowing
However, before you can start sowing, you must prepare the soil accordingly. If you want to achieve a uniform, green lawn, the mere digging of the meadow is unfortunately not enough - due to the rhizomes and seeds still contained in the soil, the weeds would come through again and again. Therefore, you should first mow the lawn as deeply as possible, then lift the scar with a flat spade. After that, proceed as follows:
From a half length of about 10 centimeters you can mow your young lawn carefully for the first time.
Spraying weeds with Roundup?
Many a gardener swears by simply spraying annoying weeds with Roundup. However, the active ingredient of this herbicide, glyphosate, has recently fallen into disrepute - quite rightly, because glyphosate is considered to be highly carcinogenic. Do not let the EU Food Safety Authority or the German Federal Office for Risk Assessment mislead you as to the danger of the product. Many scientists have already commented on their misconception.
Tips & Tricks
The best time to start with the grass clearing is early spring. Work the soil in a dry phase in March to finally seed the seeds from about mid to late May.
