Planting the right trees in the right place

‘The right tree in the right place’ is a phrase worth remembering.  Think of it like this:  A Maserati may be the perfect car for cruising down a road in the Italian countryside; however, you wouldn’t haul mulch in one.  Similarly, an old pickup may be just right to keep on the farm, but its 5 mpg fuel appetite would make it a drain on the wallet for long commutes.

There are a number of reasons why a lawn succeeds or not. In dry climates, the most crucial factor is irrigation.

There are many factors contributing to the success or otherwise of a lawn. A main cause leading to failure is a compacted soil, which lacks oxygen in the root zone, and does not allow for the adequate infiltration of water. Other vital factors include a correct mowing regime, a suitable feeding programme, and periodic de-thatching. Adequate moisture though is the single most important question as to whether a grass will succeed or not.
