			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every one wants to have flowering lawn whole the year, because green lawns give a glorious look to your homes. But maintaining the lawn is not so easy and it requires special ability. It feels great to sit in your lawn, take a coffee, and watch your children play and feel the green grass of the lawn. To make this dream a reality, you would have to follow some of the following tips.</p>
<p>In winter season it is observed that the grass stop growing and bare spots in lawn became Cleary visible and look odd. To avoid this seed rye seeds in your lawn, this grass remains green in winter. In summer season the rye grass dries off and is completely disappeared from your lawn, and normal grass again takes over blank spots of your lawn. In this way you can enjoy green lawn in all seasons.</p>
<p>Use fertilizers in standard amount, and water the plants on regular basis. The watering should be at regular and calculated intervals according to season. Extra water in summer and small water in summer will dry the grass.<br />
You should use high quality fertilizer in every three months on regular basis. Regularly fertilizing your lawn will result in green blooming grass all seasons. You can also weed and feed to give the nutrition to the soil. While applying fertilizers, follow all instructions written on bag and take special care of yourself and your lawn.</p>
<p>Selection of seeds:</p>
<p>Select the seed as per your environment and season. In shady areas it is difficult for grass to grow up, so in those areas your best option is rye grass to have blooming lawn. There are different types of grass which can be grown according to the season. You can select from a wide range of grass types, for example you can opt for bent grass and blue grass etc. for hot areas or in summer season you can choose buffalo grass, bahia grass, Zoysia grass, and centipede grass etc.<br />
Raking</p>
<p>It is recommended to rake your lawn before seeding with a double duty rake. Raking will provide extra space between seeds and this will result in proper respiration. Raking a lawn will also help the seeds to grow properly.<br />
Sprinkling and watering</p>
<p>The next step is sprinkling the seeds. Keep it in minds that always use high quality seeds. This will lead to thick green grass by growing all seeds. Spray some water on seeds after sprinkling. Water spray will help the seed to grow quickly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of us love a nice green lawn but often because of the amount of water that needs to be used, the<br />
pesticides involved and other miscellaneous maintenance needs, such a lawn can be a big drain on our<br />
environment as well as our resources. You could even do without a lawn and instead indulge in<br />
something more environmentally friendly. However, if you don’t want to forego your lawn, you can do<br />
the following to reduce the harmful effects:</p>
<p>Let the lawn grow: If you let the grass grow, it is scientifically proven that grass will grow slower after<br />
it grows to about 4-5 inches height. This means you need to use the lawnmower less, weeds are<br />
naturally killed and water retention is higher meaning you need to water less. Unless you’re operating a<br />
golf course, letting lawns grow is s a great way to minimize adverse effects.</p>
<p>Don’t fill your lawnmower to the brim: Every year, around fifteen MILLION gallons of gas are wasted<br />
while trying to refill lawn machinery. You will find that while you are trying to top up your lawn<br />
mower, you always manage to spill some on the grass. This not only kills your lawn most effectively,<br />
you also add to your already increasing fuel bill. What you need to do is to stop trying to fill your lawn<br />
mower tank to the top, instead leave some space empty.</p>
<p>Opt for electric equipment: If you’re out to buy some lawn equipment, opt for electric machinery<br />
instead of the traditional gas powered ones. It will create less noise, will be safer for the environment<br />
and are idea for small plots. Though this form has its disadvantages, like always needing to recharge<br />
the batteries, electric machinery performs on the same level as traditional equipment and sometimes<br />
even better and that too in an eco friendly manner.</p>
