这个一英镑硬币的把戏可以改变你的监督技术，并确保明年有一个茂盛的草坪

精明的园丁都清楚，现在准备你的花园可以确保明年有一片郁郁葱葱的草坪，这将成为全城的话题

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.

精明的园丁现在就可以准备他们的草坪，以确保明年有茂盛的绿草。这不仅仅是修剪的问题——为了解决那些不太完美的补丁，一种被称为“过度播种”的方法开始发挥作用。

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.

磨损等常见问题会让草坪看起来稀疏——毕竟花园是用来享受的。但好消息是，监督可以使这些地区恢复活力，告别杂草丛生和不受欢迎的杂草，取而代之的是肥沃的绿色草地。

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

为了让事情变得更简单，一位园艺专家泄露了一个价值 1 英镑的硬币魔术，可以改变你的监督技术。

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

iCANLAWN.com 的蒂莫西·格林 (Timothy Green) 公开了监督问题，尽管监督很简单，但确实需要一些先发制人的检查。

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，种子的成功生长需要持续两周左右的持续 10 度以上的温度。园丁应避免在酷热或严寒时进行监督，因为种子无法很好地生根。

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

蒂莫西说，为获得最佳结果做好准备意味着在播种任何种子之前清除苔藓、枯死的簇丛或讨厌的杂草。

"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.

“然后你应该修剪草坪，因为当新草生长时你将无法修剪草坪。如果你有任何不平坦的区域，或者土壤质量差，请使用一些表土来平整这些，”他建议在他与《快报》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."

“然后是时候‘检查’磨损区域了。目标是每平方米 35 克种子。有效地撒播种子，并使用耙子确保它们有生长的空间。”

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.

园丁可能很难识别他们是否正确地监督了他们的草坪。蒂莫西提供了一个漂亮的 1 英镑硬币魔术来帮助解决这个问题。

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

他说：“三磅硬币堆叠的深度适合种子接触水、热量和阳光。”

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.

实际上，园丁只需 7 到 10 天就能看到监督结果。这时土塞会分解，种子会开始发芽，草会开始长得更饱满、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.

当新草长到五厘米左右时，就可以在最高设置下进行第一次割草。不过，您还没有完成，因为您需要确保每天给幼苗浇水，持续大约六周。

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

当您最终完成监督过程时，您将获得一片看起来更饱满的草坪。
