Do you have an unfinished yard? Then you may want to lay sod or seed this coming spring or fall since the rain and mild temperatures are perfect for your grass to take root. Everyone has their preference when it comes to seed and sod. Sod can be laid in a day and covers your lawn with grass immediately—however, sod doesn’t always root as well as seed.
Whatever method you choose, you need to prep your yard’s soil beforehand. A Dingo Soil Cultivator can help you in this regard.
What is a Dingo Soil Cultivator?
The Dingo Soil Cultivator is a machine that you can push over your lawn to smooth down any uneven terrain. As you push the cultivator, the machine will actually break up the dirt below down to a depth of 5.5. inches. While you may still need to pick up large stones from your yard, the cultivator saves you the hassle of picking up smaller rocks and soil clods since it buries them.
Why is it So Important to Prepare Soil This Way?
Again, while sod and seed both have their pros and cons, neither of them will survive if you don’t prep your soil. If your soil is hard with clay, then the grass roots won’t be able to penetrate deeper into dirt with nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other essential nutrients. Since the Dingo Soil Cultivator penetrates the ground and churns the soil, you’ll be able to set your grass up for good growing conditions. The Soil Cultivator has a high-filtering grate, so you will rest assured that only tilled soil will be able to pass through, while debris will get pushed underneath the machine and buried.
Why Are Stones and Uneven Terrain such a Problem for Sod and Seed?
Stones block sprouts from growing upward, meaning that your grass won’t get the sunlight it needs to thrive. And like impacted soil, rough terrain can make it harder for your grass to take root since water may drain and pool in one area and never nourish other areas. Renting a cultivator is great because instead of preparing the soil, removing stones, and smoothing the terrain in three steps, you can do all of it in just one. The Dingo Soil Cultivator has an offset wire mesh rear roller which will smooth out any ridges in the ground. This mesh also creates small impressions in the earth for seed to germinate, root, and thrive.
