Maintaining your grass need not be a gargantuan task. If you cut it once every few weeks in the evening it will enable the cut grass to be able to rest from the scorching of the sun. Coupled with a small amount of fertiliser at once every few months will help the grass to grow strong and healthy, making sure there is an adequate amount of nitrates embedded in your soil. If you grow your own crops it is essential to have a balanced amount of nitrates and nutrients in the soil so the produce has a bountiful yield. If that is not your kind of recreational pass time then, having a nice lawn makes your garden a less stressful place to relax in. Glass rooms and awnings are a great addition to gardens. They can protect against the elements while still not imposing on the visual character of your humble abode.
