Uyini Umehluko Phakathi Kwe-Golf Grass kanye Notshani Bebhola? Kungaphezu Kwegama Nje!

Uma uhamba ogwini oluluhlaza okotshani, uzwa ukuthamba kwalo ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho, ingabe wake wazibuza ukuthi kuhluke kanjani utshani begalofu notshani bebhola? Ungakhohliswa ngamagama azo—lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zotshani zinezinjongo ezihluke kakhulu, izici, kanye nezidingo zokunakekela. Uma uhlela ukumisa inkundla yegalofu noma inkundla yebhola likanobhutshuzwayo, noma umane nje ufuna ukwazi mayelana nokuhluka kwazo, lesi sihloko silapha ukuze sikuchazele sona!

Umehluko obaluleke kakhulu phakathi kotshani begalofu notshani bebhola usekusetshenzisweni kwazo okuhlosiwe, okulolonga ukwakheka kwazo nokukhetha kwazo.

Izifundo zegalofu zidinga amazinga aphezulu kakhulu endaweni yazo, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni eziluhlaza. Utshani kufanele bube bufushane, bushelelezi, futhi bungabi nasici, bunikeze indawo ekahle ukuze amabhola egalufu agingqike ngokunembile. Konke ukushwiba igalofu kuncike kakhulu ekubangeni kanye nekhwalithi yotshani. Ngakho-ke, utshani begalofu ngokuvamile bukhethwa ngenxa yokubukeka kwabo okuhle, ukuminyana okuphezulu, kanye nezinga lokukhula kancane. Izinhlobo ezivamile zihlanganisa i-bentgrass ne-Kentucky bluegrass.

Ngokungafani nobuhle begalofu, izinkundla zebhola zifana nezinkundla zempi! Utshani kufanele bubekezelele abadlali begijima, beshibilika, begwedla. Utshani bebhola buqinile, buyakwazi ukuqina, futhi bunwebeka, buqinisekisa ukuthi bungakwazi ukumelana nemisebenzi eqinile yomzimba. Izinketho ezidumile zotshani bebhola zihlanganisa i-ryegrass ne-fescue ende.

Uma uthatha isikhashana ukuthinta futhi ubheke lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zotshani, umehluko ekubukekeni kwazo nokuzizwa uyabonakala.

Utshani begalofu buzwakala “njengokhaphethi wevelvet.” Ama-blades awo mahle futhi aminyene, enza indawo ebushelelezi ngokuphelele. Ukuyithinta kuzwakala kusilika, futhi ukuhamba phezu kwayo kunikeza umuzwa wobukhazikhazi.

Utshani bebhola, ngakolunye uhlangothi, bunama-blade amaholo kanye nokuminyana okuphansi. Kodwa-ke, inxephezela umuzwa wayo oqinile futhi oshisayo, ohlinzeka ngokumuncwa okuhle kakhulu kokushaqeka phakathi nemidlalo eshubile.

Izidingo zokunakekelwa kwalezi zinhlobo ezimbili zotshani ziyehluka kakhulu ngenxa yezinhloso zazo ezihlukene.

Ukugcina utshani begalofu, ikakhulukazi ekubekeni imifino, cishe kuyindlela yobuciko. Ukuphakama kokugunda kufanele kugcinwe kuphansi kakhulu (imvamisa amamilimitha angama-2-4), okudinga ukugunda njalo—ngezinye izikhathi ngisho kabili ngosuku. Ukunisela njalo, ukuvundisa okunembile, nokunaka ngokucophelela amazinga e-pH yenhlabathi nakho kuyadingeka ukuze kugcinwe indawo yokudlala ekahle.

Utshani bebhola bugxile ekuqineni nasekululameni. Nakuba ingadingi ukuphakama okufushane kokugunda (imvamisa amamilimitha angama-20-30), isadinga ukunqunywa okuvamile. Ukuvundisa kanye nokungenisa umoya kuyisihluthulelo sokuqinisekisa izimpande ezinempilo. Ukwengeza, utshani bebhola budinga uhlelo lokudonsa amanzi olugcinwe kahle ukuze lubhekane nezimo zemvula.

Izimo ezikhulayo zalobu tshani zinethonya elikhulu ekusebenzeni kwazo, ngotshani begalofu notshani bebhola okubonisa amazinga ahlukene okuguquguquka.

Utshani begalofu buyakhethwa ngendawo yabo, buchuma ezindaweni ezifudumele nezinomswakama kodwa budonsa kanzima esimweni sezulu esibi. Kokubili ukushisa okushisayo nobusika obushubisa umnkantsha kungalimaza kakhulu.

Utshani bebhola bufana “nesosha lezwe lotshani,” okubonisa ukumelana ngokuqinile nezimo ezinzima. Ivumelana kahle nezimo zezulu ezihlukahlukene futhi ilulama ngokushesha, ngisho nangemva kokusetshenziswa kanzima.

Okokugcina, ake sikhulume ngomehluko wezindleko phakathi kotshani begalofu notshani bebhola. Uma ungumtshalizimali, isabelomali cishe siyinkinga enkulu.

Ngezidingo zayo eziqinile zohlobo lotshani, inhlabathi, okokusebenza kokulungisa, nokunakekelwa kochwepheshe, i-turf yenkundla yegalofu ingabiza kakhulu ukuyifaka nokuyinakekela. Ukubeka imifino, ikakhulukazi, kudinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okubalulekile kwaminyaka yonke ukuze kugcinwe esimweni esiphezulu.

Utshani bebhola, uma kuqhathaniswa, buyonga kakhulu. Kusukela ekufakweni kuya ekulungiseni nasekulungiseni, ukutshalwa kwezimali okuphelele kuphansi kakhulu. Lokhu kwenza kube ukukhetha okusebenzayo kokusetshenziswa kabanzi.

Utshani begalofu kanye notshani bebhola kungaba kokubili izinhlobo ze-turf, kodwa ukuhluka kwazo ngenjongo, izici, nokunakekelwa kudala umuzwa ohluke ngokuphelele. Uma unquma nge-turf ngenjongo ethile, qala ngokucacisa izidingo zakho bese ucabangela ibhajethi yakho nezimo zesayithi. Khumbula, utshani obuhle kakhulu yibo obuhambisana nezidingo zakho!

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubuhle begalofu noma injabulo yebhola lezinyawo, ukukhetha nokunakekelwa kotshani kuzoba nomthelela oqondile ekusebenzeni kwendawo. Ngethemba, lesi sihloko sikusiza ukuthi uqonde kangcono umehluko phakathi kotshani begalofu notshani bebhola, ikunikeza amandla okwenza isinqumo unolwazi!
