Burn weeds in the lawn and around the edges
In the long run, weeds in the lawn lead to the grass becoming thinner and the weedy areas constantly increasing. In order to make the annoying weed removal easier, burning off with a flame burner is being considered.
In the lawn, it only makes sense to use such a device if large areas are to be burned. The surface turns black and is unsightly for a long time. The weeds are not effectively controlled, since the roots and seeds survive the burning.
This also applies to burning the lawn at the edge of the lawn. It usually only takes a few days for the grass to grow back around the edges.
burn grass clippings
Large amounts of lawn clippings can be removed by burning. However, in most places, bonfires are only allowed on a few days of the year. When burning, the grass should be as dry as possible, otherwise it will burn poorly and develop an unpleasant, pungent odor.
Combat grass mite infestation by burning
Burning off the lawn with special slaked lime can make sense if there are huge amounts of grass mites in the grass. This happens occasionally, especially on very acidic soils. A soil analysis shows how healthy the lawn is.
Grass mites are not only annoying, but also a health hazard for children, dogs and cats. So that the lawn can be used, various means can be brought to the lawn. The area should only be burned off with lime if the infestation is very severe.
Applying the lime neutralizes the acidity of the soil. At the same time, the larvae of the grass mite are eliminated.
tips and tricks
Sometimes it is recommended to burn the lawn if a new lawn or bed is to be created. When burning, however, only the surface is removed. The roots remain in the ground and sprout again after a recovery phase.
