Did you know
that lawns are very effective oxygen producers? They are indeed 3 times more effective
than trees. Also, they have a much longer season to produce oxygen. A 50ft x
50ft lawn can actually release enough oxygen to meet the daily needs of a
family of 4 for 24 hours. If you want to have a lawn, consider planting Bermuda
grass.
Facts About Bermuda Grass
The first
introduction of Bermuda grass came from contaminated hay, which was used before
as bedding when slaves were brought to America. Lots of seeds were distributed
initially across the Eastern United States. Those that survived were able to
make more seeds and so on.
Bermuda is a
type of grass that thrives in full sun conditions. Did you know that it can
also survive a drought? Also, it can hold up well under plenty of foot traffic.
It is for this reason that it is often used on sports field. It spreads easily,
grows well even in poor soil, and recovers quickly from damage.
Similar to
other types of grass, Bermuda has some drawbacks too. First, it needs
temperatures of at least 65℉ in the summer to thrive. Second, it
develops thatch, which is a layer of living and dead organic matter that often
happens between the soil surface and the grass blades. Lastly, it turns
straw-colored after a frost – this further means that your lawn will become
brown all winter.
On the brighter
side, Bermuda grass will allow you to have a lawn that is hardy, does not need
plenty of water, and looks excellent all summer long.
