Maintaining a healthy lawn during water restrictions and drought requires specific care practices to ensure survival and recovery.
Zusammenfassung
To keep your lawn thriving during water restrictions and drought, follow these essential tips: mow less often as grass growth slows, avoid mowing wet grass to prevent diseases, sharpen mower blades regularly, raise the blade height for longer grass, leave dead grass to protect soil, water efficiently with deep watering, practice spot seeding for damaged areas, skip fertilizing until temperatures drop, control weeds to conserve water for your lawn, and let dormant lawns rest without trying to revive them artificially.
