Green Calendar September 2023

By : Davide - Categories : Lawn care

September is the month of choice for SEEDING and OVERSEEDING your lawn, and this choice is based on several fundamental considerations. The atmospheric characteristics of this period, with the autumn rains and soil humidity that become more present, provide an optimal environment for the germination process. In addition, soil temperatures begin to gradually decrease, stabilizing at values that are ideal for the correct development of the seeds.

Another aspect to take into consideration is the length of daylight hours in September, which begins to decrease compared to the summer months. This environmental change is particularly favorable for the second phase of annual vegetative recovery of plants in the lawn. Grasses and plants will have more time to focus on root growth and consolidation before the colder months of winter arrive.

In short, September is a crucial time when nature itself seems to collaborate for the success of your lawn seeding and overseeding operations. By taking advantage of the optimal climatic conditions, you can ensure robust and healthy growth of your plants, preparing them in the best way to face the challenges that the following months may present.
