Consider to plant grasses in front or at the back of your yard. You just need to choose what kind of grass will be perfect for your yard. One of grass types which can grow easily and has low maintenance is elephant grass (Gajah Mini). The maintenance is more simple if you compare with other grasses such as Golf grass or Japanese grass. Gajah Mini can grow and spread over your yard very quickly and there is no need to cut it off often, especially if they got full sunshine.

How to plant and maintain your Gajah Mini grass :
1) First, loosen the ground using the hoe for 5 to 10 cm and level the ground.
2) Fertilizing the ground with 25 kg fertilizer for every 10 m2 width.
3) One (1) meter grass seedling can be planted for a 5 to 6 m2 area.
4) Spread the seedling in small size +/- 3 to 5 cm and plant it until its root is covered by the soil. Plant in zig-zag pattern.
5) Plant the grass in ideal distance between 8 x 8 cm, however if you want it grow faster, then, plant it in closer distance.
6) Press it softly to let the root stick into the soil and not easily moved.
7) Watering should be done twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon especially during dry season and it’s suggested to use water container or soft spraying to prevent the root to be separated from the soil.
8) Fertilizing can start 2 weeks after the grass has been planted to give nutrients to grow. The grass needs 46% urea, 0.5 kg for 10 m2. Mix the urea with water and spray it to the grass.
9) Routine maintenance can be done once every 3 months’ period.

Very soon, you will be enjoying a beautifully planted grassed lawn!
