Then, the Eng. Luis Fuster tells us all we need to do to get our garden in top condition at this time of year.
Lawn
* Earthworks: overhaul the leveling of land with practices such as top-dressing of leveling. This improves the cutting quality and enhancing peeling reducing the visual appearance of the folder. Consists of the addition of solid material classified as sand, ground sand, earth, biohumus and / or mixtures of these with the objective of uniform surfaces. When filling for the first time a lot with topsoil and seeding or sod placed, the soil will drop naturally over time, it is appropriate then perform light top-dressings to heal the right level. The top-dressings are also other functions such as improving soil physical and chemical, cover seeds, combat thatch (corky layer of organic material that forms between the grass and soil).
* Compaction : caused by foot traffic, the pets, moving machinery, etc. There are treatments aerators-punch (hollow tines) Slicers (vertical cutting blades), Spikers (punch the ground) and other variations to combat hardening surface and subsurface.
* fertilization: the pitch with nutritional deficiencies are more susceptible to pests and pathogens, does not withstand adverse weather. Lawns that look good have high rates of consumption and must be met to have a nice appearance.
* Control of pests and diseases : pay attention to stains, discoloration, leaf meals, earth mounds and other anomalies. The diagnosis should be accurate, DO NOT apply product without first properly identify the problem. Treatments are most effective when it is neither well detect the first symptoms.
Trees, Shrubs, Herbaceous and Flores station
* Avoid heavy pruning : light cuts can be made in order to control such excesses of growth, but must be evaluated before what kind of species and size we are talking about. For herbaceous plants, grasses and flowers in season is advisable to remove the flowers, fruits and dry sticks and reinforced with organic fertilizer / chemical on a case.
* Environmental stress: in summer the state is substantial moisture control soil because it may be necessary to provide water not only for young plants but also the adult species.
* Observe the leaves, stems and branches : We have detected large populations of biting insects of poplars, ceiba, and various genres duranthas widely used in ornamental gardening that go unnoticed but they generate major disruptions. It is also very important to control weeds permanently either on lawns and in flowerbeds casserole and saplings.
irrigation systems
For those gardens that have systems sprinkler irrigation on automated or not, we highly recommend performing a monthly check / bi-monthly status of each sprinkler. The systems are mis with the passage of time, the sprinklers are suffering the ravages of cutting and edging machines and the range of spray water is beginning to adjust areas not foreseen.
is essential to clarify that sprinkler systems must be programmed strictly for lawn watering. The plants should be watered independently either drip or better manually, because if they are to the same water sprinklers that water the lawn, the adverse effect will be greater than profit. The required frequency of watering lawns and salt content of well water and the time of wetting film deposition, in most cases, it is not compatible with the requirements of plants.
Ants
more effective controls are those that treat the nest itself, for it is necessary to go and find them, signed and deal with them effectively and after 24-48 hours, returning to the appointed place and check whether continuous or not the activity. most effective treatments combine the application of liquid and varying the drug toxic baits and technique of application, as this case. We do not recommend applying products without the knowledge of system operation for 2 reasons: effectiveness of treatment and environmental pollution.
More : Fuster and Associates certain alkalinity), drainage, rain .... All that allows us to take care of this precious resource.
A good way is
collect rain water or drains, distributing it in the garden, ordering levels so that the water will not be running and eroding the soil
, but keep in the pores of the soil, fill and then drain without damage. 
is also important to take into account the mode of irrigation :
be watered during the early morning and always at the base of the plants without wetting the foliage. Do daily surface irrigation but worry that the plant receives a lot of water 2-3 times a week. is also essential remove weeds as they compete much water. We do not strip hoe the ground, because if we leave the bare soil, the water will evaporate quickly.
