The
Lawn Story so far by Greengrass
You CAN grow a real green grass lawn in Spain if you choose the right type of grass!! Most peoples’ experiences with real lawns in their garden in Spain, start with the expense of purchasing turf or seed. After the initial euphoria the drudge of watering becomes too much effort, and (generally to the detriment of the lawn) the watering is reduced to a minimum. This inevitably means that the finer greener grasses die and the coarser grasses survive until the next watering.
If you have
chosen to lay turf, more than likely it is because you wanted an instant
solution for a green lawn. Turf is not easily found here in Spain because its
maintenance prior to sale is so high. Nobody wants to buy yellow or dead looking
turf, so the grower has to constantly maintain its look with water and
fertilizer until it is sold. When you lay your newly purchased turf lawn, this
instant solution looks great but now immediately requires copious amounts of
water EVERY DAY to maintain its lush green look. After the initial period, the
watering (whether an irrigation system is installed or not) is skimped on or
reduced, and the lawn suffers. Basically things go from great to not so great
and eventually a very patchy substandard lawn is the result. Because of the
expense of water here in Spain, most people at this point either give up and put
gravel down, or concrete the area.
If you chose seed, then after daily attempts to keep the seed from drying out, the result (after the birds and the ants) is a disappointing, patchy solution that has resulted in disappointment. Then re-seeding to fill in the gaps is necessary.
Our grass plugs
are a great solution for a beautiful garden lawn in Spain. They are not
cuttings, but completely rooted pieces of lawn. The lawn begins modestly and
cheaply with no failures, it's NOT an instant solution, it's like a good wine,
it gets better with time. The investment in your lawn can start from as little
as 4 euros per M2. After watering the grass plugs for the first three weeks
after planting you do not need to water again (extreme weather conditions
permitting), thus eliminating the need for expensive irrigation systems. However
after the 3 - 4 week point you may want to continue watering until the grass
plugs join up into an established lawn. This greatly speeds up the timescale and
the results from your investment.
Because of the deep roots,
our grasses are drought resistant and thrive in hot, dry conditions. The lawn
actually gets better with time. Once established, our grasses grow slowly and
need much less cutting. They do not propagate easily from seed and therefore we
propagate the grass for you, and once its established we then transplant into
your lawn. You don't need any more than this for a wonderful green lawn in less
than one season, and it can be much less. My next article will be
about ground preparation for planting a new lawn. For more information about
grass plugs or if you have any questions about your lawn, we would be pleased to
