本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛哎,加拿大就是好啊,在这里可以学会自已动手做不少事情啊:刷墙,铺瓦,铺地板砖,地毯,砍树,开小型推土机,外加开垦一块自留地种黄瓜。。。。
去年的时候草地就疏于管理,再加上剪草机坏了(送去修理,到现在还没有取回来)俺家的草坪杂草丛生,简直“残”不忍睹!于是,决定今年自己动手换草坪。从哪儿开始呢?决定到图书馆界录像带看,没借到;只好东问西问,觉得差不多了,就开始动手了。
1.到tools rental借一个旋转碎土机rototilling,把原来的草坪里的草翻出来,深度8-10厘米,要横纵向各翻土一次。然后用耙子把草根耙出来。把土抚平。
2. 铺一层top soil ,厚度 8-10厘米;加化肥(我买的是颗粒状的氮肥),用量是10kg/100sq.,用翻土机翻到5厘米深处后,抚平;
3.买草皮,草皮有bluegrass和混合草种之分。经过咨询,得知前者是草种中最好的,但是后者应用最广泛的,抗病防虫,易于管理。我们选择了后者。草皮远的可以到地里拉,每卷$1.35. ,送货上门是$2/卷。草皮最好现买现铺,放置时间最长不要超过24小时。如果8小时以后铺,最好放在阴凉的地方或者盖上湿布。
4.铺草皮。最好是2个人协作。先找一条直线为基线,可以以路沿为准,也可以以自己设置的一条直线作为基线。关键是铺的第一卷草皮,一定要直,边铺边把土抚平。注意以后的每卷草皮一定要铺紧,但是一定不可以重叠。边缘部分用刀裁齐。
5.铺好的草皮应该马上浇水,第一个小时应该浇1升/sqft,以后的3小时浇水不要少于6升。第6-7天的时候应该剪草一次,草的长度应该保持在3厘米左右为佳。
好啦,不是很难操作的吧?剩下的就是定期的护理工作了。对了,俺家门前的草坪面积估算是1000ft2,草皮一共花了$160左右,外加2个半天的免费人工^_^(一个半天除草坪,一个半天铺草坪)
P.S. top soil可以在no frills, Canadian tire ,home depot等买到,很多花店也有卖的。$4-5/包。化肥也很便宜,价钱不祥了。
