如何在冬季过后恢复草坪

Keeping Your Lawn Healthy This Winter

As warm-season lawns such as Sir Walter Buffalo, Eureka Premium Kikuyu, and TifTuf go into dormancy during the cooler months, they can suffer from what is commonly known as winter dieback or winter stress. This can result in thin, bare patches or a dry, straw-like appearance to your lawn and lose its green colour. So, if the cold weather has beaten around your lawn in the winter months, read on to find out how to help it recover.

为什么会发生冬季枯萎病？

Warm-season turf can be burned by frost and damaged by wear when temperatures are very cold, and it won’t self-repair while it is dormant. Heavy shade due to the sun's lower position can also contribute to dieback, especially in the lawn’s first season. A lawn’s shade tolerance is relatively low in winter, even if you have cool-season grasses. As your lawn matures year on year, you will gradually encounter less and less winter dieback, and as long as you keep it healthy.

如何从冬季枯萎病中恢复草坪？

以草坪护理产品施肥为核心的良好养护计划应能开始恢复枯黄的草坪。您应该在初春夏季来临之前开始实施施肥计划，为您的草坪提供最好的机会。在九月份施肥可使草坪进入旺盛生长期，帮助受损区域自我修复，并促进全年根系深入生长。 

Apply Lawn Solutions Fertiliser every three weeks until the dead grass starts to self-repair and growth increases. If the affected area is larger than 30 cm2, you may want to consider replacing it with pieces of new lawn.

Apply a liquid fertiliser along with the first Lawn Solutions Fertiliser application to give the new grass a solid boost of nitrogen to encourage growth. We recommend Exceed Liquid Fertiliser.

定期浇水，保持割草的连贯性，以防剥落。避免割草机刀片变钝，因为这会造成进一步的损害。 

在凉爽的月份过后，只需对草坪有一些简单的认识和良好的维护，您就能拥有一个健康的草坪，让它一年四季都绿意盎然。

冬季草坪护理快速问答

草坪会在冬季休眠吗？

是的，几乎所有暖季型草坪都会在冬季休眠。草坪和大多数植物这样做是为了保存养分和水分。因此，你在冬季看不到草坪有多少生长，这就是为什么你需要在冬季采取不同的草坪养护方法。 

冬天可以给草浇水吗？

The short answer is yes, you can. However, the real question is - should you water your lawn in winter? You should only water your lawn in winter if it looks like it needs it. If you’re experiencing a particularly dry winter, you’ll need to water your lawn to keep the soil moist. 

How to Prevent My Lawn From Frost Damage?

There aren’t a lot of ways to prevent frost damage on your lawn in the winter, but your lawn will cope the best if it’s well hydrated and nutrient-rich. 

在霜冻的早晨，尽量不要在草坪上行走，因为沉重的脚步会损坏冻结的草叶。如果您特别担心，可以在黎明前轻轻喷洒，以保持草坪的翠绿，并更快地溶解霜冻。 

我可以在冬天铺设新的速成草坪吗？

Yes! Instant lawns can be installed all year round and thrive if maintained correctly. Warm-season grasses will slow down growth in the cooler seasons, whereas cool-season grasses will thrive. We still suggest picking a warm-season turf even though they lose vigour in winter; they’re perfect for pretty much any time of year.
