A natural lawn is ideal for greening a larger area that is otherwise little used. The maintenance effort is limited. The flower meadow is only less suitable for entering. You can still pick a bouquet of flowers.

Natural grass can be laid almost anywhere

A natural grass can be laid in direct sun or in the shade, on wet or dry soil. Different plants grow in shady locations than in sunny locations. Exactly those wild plants settle that can cope well with the respective conditions.

How to lay a natural grass

Prepare the desired area by loosening the soil and working in some sand or humus if necessary. A natural lawn should not be too rich in nutrients because many wild plants thrive better on nutrient-poor soil.

Level the surface only slightly. In contrast to landscaped lawns, bumps are not that annoying because they can hardly be seen under the vegetation.

Scatter selected meadow seeds over a wide area and just wait. The natural grass develops within a short time as if by itself.

Natural grass is very easy to care for

All the work that occurs with a well-groomed ornamental lawn is not necessary with natural grass. If possible, natural grass is not mowed at all, since then the flowers would be removed.

Pulling weeds is superfluous, since all kinds of plants are welcome. Many of the so-called weeds provide food and shelter for the beneficial insects in the garden.

Natural grass is only watered when it is very dry for a long period of time. The best time to water is in the early morning or evening, as during the day the tender plants would scorch in the sun while they are damp. Fertilizing is also unnecessary. Only in the case of very nutrient-poor soils can you give some fertilizer in the spring.

tips and tricks
