A Detailed Explanation of Turf Planting Methods and Technical Points

Turf planting is now also a relatively popular industry, and its methods mainly include the following. Let us learn about turf planting.

Turf planting

1. Seeding method

Choose good-quality, intact seeds and sow them evenly into the soil by machine. Before sowing, plow the soil and apply organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer. After sowing, cover with soil so that the grass seeds are in close contact with the soil. Irrigate by sprinkler every day. After germination, irrigate the lawn by sprinkler every few days. During the growth period, manage pests and diseases well, remove weeds, and trim the turf.

2. Planting method

Propagating with plants is relatively simple and can greatly save grass sources. Generally, a 1 sq m grass block can be planted to cover 5-10 sq m or a little more. When grass sources are abundant, strip planting can be used. On leveled ground, open furrows 5 cm deep with a row spacing of 20-40 cm, place the torn grass blocks in rows into the furrows, then fill with soil and press firm. Likewise, hole planting with a plant and row spacing of 20-40 cm is also possible.

3. Sodding method

Choose grass with strong growth, high density, and a large area as the grass source. First cut the turf into parallel strips, then cut them crosswise into blocks as needed. The size of the grass blocks depends on the transportation method and whether handling is convenient, and the thickness of the grass blocks is 3-5 cm. The turf should be placed tightly together without leaving gaps, and the seams can also be staggered.

4. Grass stem broadcasting method

This includes the stem broadcasting method, the stolon and rhizome broadcasting method, and so on. It mainly involves lifting the mother lawn, shaking off the soil, cutting the tender stolons and grass stems into 3-5 cm pieces, evenly broadcasting them into the leveled soil, covering with soil and pressing firm, and they will germinate after dozens of days of care.

5. Vegetation mat laying method

Use non-woven fabric with a certain toughness and elasticity, evenly spread seeds and fertilizer on it, and then plant. Generally, automated equipment is used in factories for continuous production and manufacturing.

Turf planting mainly uses these methods. Friends who plant turf can use them as appropriate reference, and for specific operations it is still necessary to consult relevant professionals.
