In many outdoor places, natural grass lawns are being replaced by synthetic or fake grass. The artificial grass was initially conceived for use in sporting activities. The cost of installing artificial turf was relatively high, However, with more innovations and also competition, the cost of this fake grass is becoming much more affordable. Thus, the faux grass which is made of synthetic materials is now widely used for residential, commercial and recreational purposes.

But what type or supplier should you use? If you are going to cover your garden in fake grass then you must use a good supplier!

Beginnings of artificial grass
Artificial turf was first introduced in the 1960s when this was used in the Astrodome. The specific product was invented by Monsanto and was then called AstroTurf. This first-generation artificial turf of the 1960s was replaced by the second generation artificial turf. And now, we have the third generation artificial grass available in the market.

There have been many debates as to whether this artificial turf is a good replacement for natural grass. Questions have been raised about the environmental effects of this type of grass. Many providers of this type of grass claim that it is not harmful to Mother Earth and also does not cause pollution in the environment. Is this true?

Kind of maintenance
Artificial grass does not need trimming or clipping. Thus, you will have no need for electric or petrol-fuelled lawnmowers. These maintenance devices are often harmful to the planet. By eliminating the use of this equipment, artificial turf contributes to the well-being of the environment. It is obvious that the artificial turf which does not grow would not need mowing. This contributes to reducing the emission of carbon monoxide (that is emitted from the machines that use fuel). Indirectly, this becomes beneficial for the earth and the environment.

No chemicals are used
To maintain artificial grasses, you will not need chemicals such as pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, and weed killers. As these are chemicals, they often contain harmful toxins. With artificial turf, you do not need these chemicals; hence you will not cause any negative effect on Earth.

Would environmentalists still question the use of artificial turf as to whether it brings beneficial effects to the environment? Natural grass is obviously very good for the environment as it releases oxygen and also provides other benefits. However, the artificial kind also contributes to making the environment green in some ways.

Harvesting season is fast approaching and one thing that is vital to your crops survival is lack of weeds. Weeding consistently can help this problem. It can be a long, arduous task but it does not necessarily have to be that way. Today we are going to tell you three different things you need to know to make this boring task as easy and efficient as possible. So grab your gardening gloves and head out to the garden and get weeding!

Our first weeding tip is to mulch. There are so many benefits to mulching it is impossible to count them. Mulch keeps the soil cool, moist, and it deprives weeds of the light they need to thrive. The best kinds to get are the organic mulches because they will attract crickets and other insects that will come to your garden and eat away your pesky weeds. Though mulch blocks out a lot of light it does not block out all of it. This is why it is vital that the mulch supply is kept at roughly two inches deep at all times. If you cannot get mulch, you can cover weeds with any light-blocking source: cardboard, newspaper, etc. One thing we do not recommend is to use any drugs on your weeds. Organic matters are healthier and work better!

The second piece of advice we have for you is to pull out weeds when the conditions are prime. This means that if you wake up in the morning and it is raining you might want to plan some time that day to do your weeding. Wet soil makes weeds loose and easy to pull out. Get your gloves and a tarp to collect your weeds on and head outside. But, do not forget a sitting pad: if it has just rained you could be getting wet and you don’t want that!

Third, and finally, we recommend you use the right tools when pulling out a particularly tough weed. Table forks are surprisingly helpful for twisting out tough weeds like henbit. When you are dealing with extremely big weeds it does good to use a tool called the fishtail weeder. This tool is prime for pulling up tap-rooted weeds including plants like a dandelion. Also, it never hurts to use the staples like a hoe and a shovel.

Now you know how to best go about weeding, get some mulch, only weed when conditions are prime and use the proper tools. You will find that you may even enjoy the time you spend in your garden weeding!
