用铲子，如果铲子有奇怪的弯曲的话，肯定是有道理的，

还有一个重要体会就是，要多用脚的力量而不是用手。

发帖数: 776 | 37 1 大家看看这个是什么杂草 到底应该什么清除？
有一个是蒲公英，roundup weed killer 一般就能除，打药的时候集中在根中间。。。
不知道你家草地多大，如果不大的话，建议直接铲掉，除根来得比较彻底
2 割草时候下面的草很黄 这种情况是要施肥还是多浇水？
如果下面的草很黄，一般来说，说明你要mow 得更勤点，我家草地以前也这样，mow频
繁点后有明显改善
3 草地秃的地方草怎么补好呢？
撒草种子（要买对啊，别买错草的种子了）， 然后立刻浇水，如果是地不够好的话，
撒草种子外然后再铺些topsoil, 再浇水
4 草地有几驼突出来得草 不知道是什么回事 看起来比其他草长的密和高
从图上看应该是有一种杂草，建议直接除掉
我们买房子3年后草地有很大的提高改善，总结经验就是要mow 的勤（两星期一次，可
以请人干，这个很重要，我们以前没弄好完全是这个缘故）＋ trugreen 弄些种子，药
什么的 （也可以自己弄，不过比较费心思）。。。 |

Mowing high means after mowing, the grass is still tall, such as
3.5 or 4 inches. You can measure the height after each mowing. It's the single most important practice for St Augustine. Apply 1 bag of Milorganite for every 2000 square feet of lawn in each application.
You may need two applications during the summer. |

缩短一半；或者上的时候走密一倍；或者偷懒的办法，double每次的剂量，把dial上拨
高一杯。肥够了，草就密，一密掩百丑。
如果水能保证够量的话，要mow low，这个对杂草是致命的。但mow low的话，每周至少
得mow一次，不然对好草伤害也很大。
具体到你这个好草夏天发黄，第一怀疑水没浇够，浇够了还黄，那是土壤碱化，导致铁
溶出不足了，草缺铁了。对，如果LZ还没注意的话，自来水是弱碱的，很多井水倒是弱
酸的。补硫酸亚铁是正道，既酸化土壤，又直接补铁，特别水费贵的地方，少浇水更得
补硫酸亚铁。很多夏肥里都含高剂量的硫酸亚铁，就不用专门买了。
