My name is Natalie, and in this blog, I am going to write about a lot of different energy practices. I plan to write about solar panels, indoor air filtration, wind farms and whatever else strikes my fancy when I'm writing. I want to focus on easy and efficient energy practices, and I hope to explain how those practices can benefit the earth. My interest in energy and the environment started when I was just a teen. I attended a camp where we studied the environment whilst also doing a lot of foraging, hiking and other things that allowed us to engage with nature. From that week onward, I've wanted to change the world and its relationship with energy. I hope this blog is just the start.
Kikuyu is a type of warm season grass. It has a texture that is course and is ideal for areas where turf grass is required. It is a type of grass that is indigenous from Kenya. Many people desire to grow this type of grass, because it is known to grow at a quick rate and is ideal for growing in warm temperatures. Kikuyu grass is able to withstand droughts, which means that you can save by not needing to water your lawn. Even high amounts of foot traffic and shade are not detrimental to the growing rate of this type of grass. If you are looking to grow kikuyu grass in order to reap the many potential benefits, it is best that you are aware of the most effective growing tips.
Refrigerate
It is important that before you begin to seed your property, that you make sure that the Kikuyu seeds are ready. This means that you need to refrigerate the seeds for a few days before you begin seeding. It is important that you allow the seeds to refrigerate for a few days because this will begin the germination process. The time that it takes the seeds to germinate can be minimised by simply making sure that the seeds are refrigerated in advance of seeding.
Sunlight
Even though it is possible for kikuyu grass to grow in the shade, it is preferred that you grow it in an area that obtains at least a few hours of direct sunlight each day. This type of grass will thrive in areas that get direct sunlight. The type of soil is not as important as the access to sunlight. Kikuyu grass can grow in just about any type of soil, but some sunlight is required.
Soil
Nothing needs to be added to expedite the growth of the grass as long as some sunlight is present. However, the soil does need to be prepared somewhat. This means that all of the top soil should be loosened a few inches deep where you want to seed. You should then smooth out the soil so that it is completely level before the seeds are added. Make sure that you water the entire area generously, but make sure that it is not too soaked.
Broadcast
The simplest method of planting kikuyu seeds is done through the broadcast method. This involves scattering the seeds over the area where you want to plant kikuyu grass. You just cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and do not add any additional water.
