How to make the lawn thicker: a simple trick for summer residents

Soon it will get warmer and it will be time to tidy up your lawn after winter. To ensure that the grass grows well and is lush, you need to properly care for these resilient but still delicate plants.

In winter, low light levels, heavy precipitation, icing, and frost can cause problems for lawn grasses. Express found out how to take care of them on the eve of spring.

Due to improper care in the off-season, in April, when it is steadily getting warmer, the lawn can look spotted due to bald spots. And the grass that grows back may be thin and weak. For the vegetation to recover well after winter, it needs to be nourished. One of the best fertilizers that can be found in almost every kitchen is coffee grounds.

Don't throw it away after enjoying your morning cup of natural coffee. Dry the leftover ground beans and sprinkle them on your lawn. Rich in nitrogen, this substance will help the grass grow better.

Minerals in coffee can stimulate grass growth without harming it. This fertilizer is also completely safe for small animals and insects, including worms, butterflies, and birds, for which chemical fertilizers can be toxic.

The nutrients contained in coffee grounds, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and other trace elements, are released slowly. This is a big advantage compared to fast-acting synthetic fertilizers. The turf absorbs this nutrition gradually, which ensures a healthier lawn for a longer period of time.

Give your lawn a single treatment with coffee grounds as soon as the frost has subsided. Allow a few weeks for the substances to absorb well. You will see the result this spring.
