How to get a nice green lawn after winter

Guest post by Marco

After winter most of the grass is damaged by frost and the remains of dead plants.

So in march you must start with cleaning, and if possible ( must be dry) to mow it (short).
Places with less sun (shadow) or wet places need extra attention cz. these are good places for developing mosses.
In my garden i start with cleaning and mowing two weeks ago, last weekend i removed the mosses and put a little Calcium on these places. The Calcium will kill the remains of the mosses and will give grass a chance to fill in.
It’s also necessary to fertilize the whole lawn, i prefere to make a mix of seeds, nitrogen and black soil to make it more easy to convert. First i put some extra seeds at the damaged places.

Anyway, in two / three weeks the lawn will be nice and green, and is ready to mow. It’s important not to mow too short. If you mow too short the mosses will have a new chance to grow.
Anyway, at the end of april my lawn will be great. I will show you later with ather pics, so you can compair them with the actual pics.
