Are you having trouble with birds feeding on your newly lawn grass seeds?
If you are planning to put in new lawn from grass seeds or you are just trying to grow new lawn where it is dying off but have lots of hungry birds waiting to feast on your next project…here are some great tips to make your project a success.
Make or buy a bird feeder. Place them around your garden and fill up your feeders with a tastier seeds. Not only will this add a more friendlier bird attraction but will add more uniqueness to your garden.
Protect your new lawn grass seeds by spreading bale hay over the area of new seedlings. One bale of hay will cover 1000 square feet of your seedbed. That way birds will have a difficult time getting to the lawn grass seeds as they rather have the easy pickings than to really work at getting their food.
Don’t worry about the new lawn growing as they will easily grow through the hay.
Another idea you can also use is mulching. You can buy mulching at your local gardening store but this is a much costlier way unless you use the mulch in smaller areas.
And finally you can abandon your lawn grass seeds idea and just roll new sod for your lawn project. Of course that is the easy way…expensive but that way you don’t need to worry about the birds at all!
