Understanding the basic tips on growing grass will help you create a healthy and green lawn．If you plan the right variety at the right time and in the right place，you'll achieve success．
Autumn is the ideal growing season for the majority of grass varieties．Prepare the soil in this season as you do for any other plant．Based on the type of grass that you have chosen，the nutrient requirements may differ．For poor soil that is lack of essential plant nutrients，you can supply it with some organic fertilizer．
To grow grass successfully，make sure you select the correct variety that will adapt to the soil conditions of your area and to the growing location．You can choose the American shade grass variety or native grass varieties．
The sowing of grass can be done on bare soil or on an existing lawn．After sowing the grass seeds，cover them with a layer of top soil to quicken the germination （萌芽） process．In the first few weeks，you should irrigate the area every other day．Reduce the watering frequency after the grass has germinated．The addition of proper fertilizers at the right time is necessary for the healthy growth of grass．In the case of grass growing in shady environments，limit the use of fertilizers．
Weed control is another important tip for growing grass．The presence of weeds in grass growing areas leads to competition for water and nutrients，thus resulting in the poor growth of the planted grass．Hence，in order to avoid this condition，ensure that you remove the weeds regularly．
Lastly，one should also watch out for the presence of diseases and pests around the grass growing site in order to preserve the beauty of the lawn．
