Homegrown trick to revive your lawn this spring

The lawn is an important element of every garden. Like any plant, grass needs proper care and fertilisation. One home trick will make the green carpet soft and thick by spring. You need to act already in September.

A well-kept lawn makes our entire garden instantly look much better. It’s worth knowing that you need to take care of the green turf in September, before winter, so that the grass is thick, green, and healthy the following spring. When caring for the lawn, it's good to consider home remedies. This fertiliser can be made by ourselves, will cost nothing, and the effects will amaze us.

In autumn, you need to prepare the lawn for winter. Remember that the lawn still needs to be regularly mowed, and any weeds that appear should be removed. Other maintenance treatments worth conducting from September to October are aeration and dethatching, which aerate the soil, making the grass more resilient. It is also important to use the right fertiliser. This homemade mix is a real hit.

The fertiliser is made from banana peels and eggshells, which are excellent sources of phosphorus, potassium, and other valuable nutrients and minerals. What needs to be done? Grind the shells of two or three eggs and dry the finely chopped peel of one banana. Then, mix the two ingredients and spread the resulting fertiliser over the entire lawn.

Ideally, the ground should be slightly damp on the day you spread the fertiliser. This way, the vitamins and minerals will be absorbed more quickly by the soil and thus quickly delivered to the grass roots. Therefore, it’s a good idea to check the weather forecast and apply the fertiliser just before the predicted rain. If we have an exceptionally dry autumn, spread the mixture and water the grass with a sprinkler.
