去年入冬新种的草要施肥吗？还是等长一年后。现在草皮和下面TOP SOIL还i没长在一起呢。

new lawn would need the most, do it now.

OK...OK...

去年买的房子，前任房东8月份搬走，我们10月份入住后院一直没有割草，也没有施肥，入冬之前草有30-40cm。今年一半草地有绿草长出来，一半草地枯死，结成大块，盖在上面。我前几天rake很多枯草，有枯草的一半草地有很少绿色长出来。
请问这种情况如何处理？要先施肥还是把另一半全部拔了撒seed？

另一半全部拔了撒seed

想请教Tim：
上个月刚刚新铺的草皮， 请人铺的， 当时不太了解， 后来发现他们没有加TOPSOIL就直接铺到了原来的草上， 就把原来的就草皮和杂草翻过来和在一起， 现在草地有点高低不平， 想请问， 杂草的根是不是会顶开草皮长出来？ 如果是现在如何处理呢？另外新草施肥用什么比例的肥料比较好， 谢谢

"杂草的根是不是会顶开草皮长出来"
NO. Most of them would die.
"新草施肥用什么比例的肥料"
Scotts® Turf Builder® Starter™ Lawn Fertilizer 24-24-4
But not really matter. anything would work.

呼唤Timothy's版主，
我才买了房，前院后院满园蒲公英(后院500sqft)，和蒲公英斗争了一个月，最粗的根和筷子差不多大小了。实在是斩草除不了根。看到这个帖子，才从草盲变成了半草盲。想向版主和有经验的TX求救！
1 现在马上是秋天了，看这个贴，应该可以开始整院子了吧。
2 有没有家庭种植人造草的（足球草皮那种），有什么优缺点。
3 如果重新翻土的话，土里的根是不是都要除尽。
4 铺草皮之前，要用top soil把土整平，有没有什么诀窍。
5 在哪里可以买到草皮，(Rona, DP)，哪种草皮比较好。
6 后院这么大，有没有其他可替代的方法。
不好意思，问题很多。或者您和其他TX有没有更好的建议。先谢过啦!

蒲公英 is not a big deal. They wouldn't live over the winter. I usually don't pull them. Just mow them down, The key is mow them before they seed. When you see flowers, mow them. For the strongest one I would use weed killer like roundup to kill them.
蒲公英 grow faster then grass but don't take mowing very well.
Grass would take mowing and would out compete 蒲公英 if you put seeds, fertilizing and watering.
So if 蒲公英 is your only problem. You should buy grass seeds, fertilizer . rake the lawn off dead grass , expose the soil, spread the seeds and rake again make sure seeds are mixed in with soil, spread fertilizer then water.

Most lawn go bad is because the owner did not do the basic, seeding, fertilizing and wait to long to mow the lawn.
The grass is not 野草 是庄稼. lawn is not natural grass land, is farm field. Did you even seen natural grass land has only one kind of grass and so tightly grow together. The lawn is very unnatural environment. If you want it to look good, you have to feed the lawn.

版主终于回帖了。多谢哈。我和一个专业公司联系了，他们建议我现在什么都不管，到明天开春再说。我也不知如何是好。

hi

Hi Tim, our lawn over all is ok, the only thing is 参茈不齐,seems like its the grove between every piece of grass, what can I do with this issue? thank you.

 

[Timothy's]

Seeding. In last two years I tested a way of seeding. It works fine. In the end of October or early November, after all leaf were gone. I used lawn mow to cut grass very shot and collect all leaf( It is very easy, since all leaf were chipped to small pieces). I raked the lawn to expose the soil, I hand seeded lawn, rake it again try to mix the soil with seeds.( use metal rake and short and hard motion)and spread fertilizer with spreader. Snow would cover the lawn and push the seed on to the soil. Some weak seeds would die over the winter, so use little more seeds than you seed lawn in fall. In spring the seeds would germinate early, as soon as snow melt.

请问Timothy‘s， 现在补草籽是不是太晚了，是不是只能等到开春再补了？谢谢！
