Methods
of Lawn Making
Seeds
:
A lawn from seeds is made suitable when grass
roots are not available. About 30 Kg of seeds
may be necessary for a hectare. The soil should
be reduced to a fine tilt and given a fine rolling.
The seeds should be sown on a windless day evenly
and thinly and covered with fine, light soil.
The ground should rolled again and watered liberally
with rose tank or with a hose pipe fitted with
nozzle. The seeds take 5 weeks to germinate.
For the first time grass should be cut with
the scythe ( big scissors ). Lawn mover may
be used when the roots are well established.
Turfing
: Turf are pieces of earth with
compact grass grown on them. Turf should be
cut uniformly, thin in square from the place
where the grass is grown short, compact and
free from weeds. They should be spread on the
prepared on the ground side by side. Gaps should
be filled with the soil. The entire turf area
should be rolled and watered liberally. This
is the more fastest method of raising lawns
Truf
Blastering
: The roots should be cut into
2 - 4 cm long. A mixture consisting of 2 parts
of this root, one part of well decomposed horse
or cow manure, 1 part of fresh cow dung, 1 part
of red earth are made into a paste by adding
sufficient water spread the paste evenly over
the prepared ground which has been already watered.
Cover the ground with litter or a layer of coarse
manure to minimize evaporation and prevent the
roots from the heat of the sun. Grass will not
shoot up within 15 days. Cut the grass with
scythe and after 3 months use grass mower.
Dibbling
Roots
:
This is the cheapest
and slowest method. Small roots are dibbled
about 15 c.ms apart into the prepared ground.
The roots spread and grow underground in course
of 6 months.
