How to plant a lawn on very stony soil?
Hello everyone,
We're currently working on our outdoor area and would like to create a beautiful lawn. How would you go about it given the rocky soil?
Since I am a complete beginner in this topic, I would appreciate any advice.
Best regards
It’s a pretty nasty of the construction company to leave something like a garden floor. Unfortunately, however, it is industry-famous that everything that can be declared non-toxic can simply be folded if you are not standing on your feet.
You don’t have any choice but to tell how the floor is after removing the stones. So free a quarter square meter 20cm deep from all stones, smoothly wash, once vigorously water and let dry a few days. Will the floor stay loose or will it be hardy? If it remains loose, only the stones have to go out and a 2-3cm thin layer of strongly humus-containing mother bottom on top. If it becomes totally hard, at least 15cm must be excavated and replaced, otherwise the grass will not grow well in the long term.
The biggest problem in the preservation of the soil is to find a company with a suitable, mobile shaking sieve, which removes the upper layer once, sieves and yields it again. This is also true with pure handwork, but there you are always busy. The advantage of manual work, however, is that you can sort the sorted stones directly into beautiful and building rubbish and create a stone garden with the beautiful stones.
It wasn’t a construction company, it was our own performance. Can I use the stones I vine from the earth as a gravel for the substructure of the terrace?
Oh, dear, that looks like slave labor. I remember so well. I went on about 100m2 5 years ago:
Grob collects stones by hand, pierced with tomb as deep as possible and raised block for block (fork width/ depth), left to “penetrate” ground. Further stones come up, collected and at the same time weeds are removed. Some of them had to be used. Then chopped very thoroughly, did this with a star chop. After that, hang longitudinally and transversely and repeatedly remove stones. Eimously washed fine sand distributed, some bags of composterde (gardenery) scattered out and everything together smoothly. Waters, 14 days are left so that weeds come up, this is removed, smoothed again and only then sown good grass seeds (it is worth spending more money for quality seeds). Didn’t have a roll, so I put boards on my shoes to stick the seeds. Water hose / sprinkler set on fine rain shower (bearance, otherwise sprinkled), rainy daily. Flatter bands and other. against sparrows. Nevertheless, a lot of weeds came in between, which was a lesson to me, only in the late summer/ early autumn of lawn replant. For the first time, I have scaled down from a lawn height of about 15 cm to 8-10 cm, later to 7 cm.
Alternatively, because summer grass farming is more difficult, large-area gland seeds can be applied. Advantageous because what blooms quickly, the earth recovers and is well rooted/ventilated and healthy. It is easy to remove the flowers with roots in autumn.
Preparation
Sowing
Maehen only when the lawn has grown well
I would let the top layer sieve, maybe build a stone garden / drywall from the stones.
Then I would apply fresh good earth and then start the lawn in autumn.
How do I best do this through ?
Build sieve – attach several layers of wire mesh / canteen wire to a frame, attach 2 stuetzlatten with hinges and place like a “sandwich board”
I don’t know how much time and manpower you want to spend, but you can try this with a special compost sieve for the pusher and a shovel.
Maybe it’s enough if you have the top layer in a big action with neighbors and friends and collect the stones somewhere.
Maybe it’s also the right way to divide the area into 30 parts and collect 20 minutes each evening.
Or borrow?
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of 13 December 2013 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the processing of personal data by electronic means of electronic means (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 1).
Either remove the upper layer and fill the mother’s floor, or add a layer of mother’s floor on top.
Then I can dispense with the stones, can I? How thick should the layer be a mother’s floor?
You can enrich it with a little nut floor. That would be enough to grow lawn.
For a dense and uniform lawn surface, you will not come around to remove the top layer and to allow it to be replaced by a mother base.
Since I have to fill the edges on the wall anyway, I come a little deeper and can then fill with a mother’s floor. How high should the layer be the mother’s floor and then I must sort out the stones beforehand or Is there a risk that it will push the stones up through the mother’s floor later?
I’m reading rough stones. Sow grass. Use mulch mowers and thus return the cut material to the ground. In a few years, such a layer of earth forms above the rocky soil.
I hear the lawn mower make kaziiing and throw pebbles around the area
Not if the rough stones are collected and the lawn mower is placed at the highest level, then the one comes over the small stones. We even mow our farm with field stones.
We agree.
So in any case, the thick lumps have to get out,
