The grass is green, the sun is shining... Who doesn't know these lines from a children's poem? And although we can't influence the sun, making the grass on the lawn bright green and fluffy is quite within the power of every summer resident.

All you need to do is add mineral substances or organic fertilizers to the area that is intended to be a lawn.

However, not everything is so simple - according to the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , when applying fertilizers, certain rules should be followed.

So, first of all, it is worth noting that the fertilizer must be evenly distributed over the entire area of the lawn.

It is worth starting to fertilize when the soil is moist and the grass, on the contrary, is dry.

To do this, before applying it, you need to water the area thoroughly and then wait until the vegetation dries.

To ensure the nutrients are absorbed as effectively as possible, be sure to water your lawn a few days after applying fertilizer.

If you are applying the nutrient mixture manually, it should be divided into two equal parts. One half should be distributed along the lawn, while the other half should be distributed across it.
