Hello,

at the moment, it unfortunately doesn’t make sense to sow grass seed.
When do you think would be the right time to establish our lawn?

Best regards

All right. Fertilized evenly. Where there is more fertilizer, there is more growth and darker green. How do you fertilize? If you are inexperienced, it is best to use the Einhell hand fertilizer spreader. Affordable and fine for home gardeners like us. My friend is a professional and also considers it suitable for commercial use.

I applied fertilizer by hand and believed I had spread it evenly. I honestly did not realize how strong the fertilizer’s effect would be. I was planning to buy something anyway, since our winters are severe and there might be a need to use salt for de-icing.

Phew, nitrogen really takes off like a cat when the tomcat calls.

If it’s just a few plants, make a tincture from Vorox, which contains glyphosate and also controls horsetail

could you please send me a link via private message to the exact product you mean? When I search for Vorox, I find herbicides that explicitly state they do not contain glyphosate...

I meant Vorox direct or Roundup Speed. However, I’ve looked at the descriptions, and horsetail is listed as uncontrollable with both products. It explicitly says so. Maybe ask a farmer if they know anything, or a professional gardener.

Payday, check the websites of mein schöner Garten. In short, it is hardly controllable, but it recedes if the soil is loose, so dig deep and, if necessary, work in sand. If the soil is rather alkaline, apply dolomitic lime to the bed. But be careful, this also kills rhododendrons. Pansies also prefer acidic soil.
