這個一英鎊硬幣的把戲可以改變你的監督技術，並確保明年有一個茂盛的草坪

精明的園丁都清楚，現在準備你的花園可以確保明年有一片鬱鬱蔥蔥的草坪，這將成為全城的話題

Savvy gardeners can prepare their lawns now to ensure a lush green sward next year. It's not just about the trim - to tackle those less-than-perfect patches, a method known as "overseeding" comes into play.

精明的園丁現在就可以準備他們的草坪，以確保明年有茂盛的綠色草坪。這不僅僅是修剪的問題——為了解決那些不太完美的補丁，一種被稱為「過度播種」的方法開始發揮作用。

Common issues such as wear and tear can leave lawns looking sparse - gardens are meant for enjoyment, after all. But the good news is that overseeding can rejuvenate these areas, bidding farewell to patchiness and unwelcome weeds, and welcoming a rich, green carpet of grass instead.

磨損等常見問題可能會讓草坪看起來稀疏——畢竟花園是用來享受的。但好消息是，監督可以使這些地區恢復活力，告別雜草叢生和不受歡迎的雜草，取而代之的是肥沃的綠色草地。

And to make things simpler, a gardening pro has let slip a £1 coin trick that could transform your overseeding technique.

為了讓事情變得更簡單，園藝專家洩漏了一個價值 1 英鎊的硬幣魔術，可以改變你的監督技術。

Timothy Green from iCANLAWN.com opened up about overseeding, which despite being straightforward, does require some pre-emptive checks.

iCANLAWN.com 的 Timothy Green 公開了監督問題，儘管監督很簡單，但確實需要一些先發製人的檢查。

For starters, successful seed growth calls for consistent temperatures above 10 degrees for around a fortnight. Gardeners should shy away from overseeding when it’s swelteringly hot or bitterly cold, as the seeds won’t take root well.

首先，種子的成功生長需要持續兩週左右的持續 10 度以上的溫度。園丁應避免在酷熱或嚴寒時進行監督，因為種子無法很好地生根。

Preparing for optimum results means clearing away moss, dead tufts, or pesky weeds before sowing any seeds, according to Timothy.

蒂莫西說，為最佳結果做好準備意味著在播種任何種子之前清除苔蘚、枯死的簇叢或討厭的雜草。

"Then you should mow the lawn as you won't be able to while the new grass is growing. And if you have any areas that are uneven, or have low-quality soil, use some topsoil to even these out," he advised in his chat with the Express.

「然後你應該修剪草坪，因為當新草生長時你將無法修剪草坪。如果你有任何不平坦的區域，或者土壤質量差，請使用一些表土來平整這些，」他建議在他與《快報》的聊天中。

"Then it's time to 'overseed' the worn zones. Aim for a rate of 35g of seeds per square metre. Scatter the seeds efficiently and use a rake to make sure they have space to grow."

「然後是時候『檢查』磨損區域了。目標是每平方米 35 克種子。有效地撒播種子，並使用耙子確保它們有生長的空間。”

It might be difficult for gardeners to recognise if they are correctly overseeding their grass. Timothy has provided the nifty £1 coin trick to help with this.

園丁可能很難識別他們是否正確地監督了他們的草坪。蒂莫西提供了一個漂亮的 1 英鎊硬幣魔術來幫助解決這個問題。

He said: "Three-pound coins stacked is the right depth for your seeds to access water, heat and sunlight."

他說：“三磅硬幣堆疊的深度適合種子接觸水、熱量和陽光。”

Gardeners will actually be able to see overseeding results in as little as seven to 10 days. This is when the soil plugs will break down, the seeds will begin germinating and the grass will start to grow fuller and healthier.

實際上，園丁只需 7 到 10 天就能看到監督結果。這時土塞會分解，種子會開始發芽，草會開始長得更飽滿、更健康。

When new grass reaches around five centimetres, it can be mowed for the first time on the highest setting. You're not done yet though, as you need to make sure you water your seedlings every day for around six weeks.

當新草長到五公分左右時，就可以在最高設定下進行第一次割草。不過，您還沒有完成，因為您需要確保每天給幼苗澆水，持續約六週。

When you've finally finished the overseeding process, you will be rewarded with a fuller-looking lawn.

當您最終完成監督過程時，您將獲得一片看起來更飽滿的草坪。
