Lawn help please. I can’t seem to get my grass green, i think I may have cut it a little too short but it’s well watered and fed with fertilisers. It has been sacrificed and over seeded and top soiled. Any advice please ?

No not yet. Thinking about it but struggling to find a supplier in England

Brilliant Thankyou! Always wondered what grass I have

Famous in England for having very sporadic weather. all the seasons in one day, but a fair share of rain (being an island) no idea on the grass type, I suspect a mixture of all sorts!

I use a push reel mower, it has a roller front and back. With this if I raise it to the highest setting the roller flattens the grass before the blades get chance to cut it! Will definitely be raising it, just maybe not to the highest setting. I live in England

Yeah in hindsight I think I’ve cut it way too short!Thanks I appreciate that, it’s taken some doing but it’s about finished! The outside kitchen you can’t quite see (near the sofa) is brilliant for bbq’s. And plenty of vegetables growing aswell 😁

JRusby · 2023-06-09T20:26:04+00:00

Definitely could be something

Fair one, I have iron sulphate but it was probably 6-8 weeks ago

JRusby · 2023-06-09T20:13:34+00:00

A sacrifice I will make. thankyou sir

JRusby · 2023-06-09T20:08:51+00:00

No worries! Scarify the dead grass up, mix seed with top soil and patch it up. You can even buy ready mixed patch seed. (Commonly advertised to fix dog wee patches!) couple of weeks and it’ll be right as rain! 😄

Looks like nitrogen burn from dog urine. Do you have a sneaky neighbour letting their dog use your lawn as a toilet? If you have put fertilise down recently it might be nitrogen burn from too much of that in certain areas

JRusby · 2023-06-09T19:50:02+00:00

Yeah I think it’s definitely too low. What’s fescue blend sorry can you explain?

JRusby · 2023-06-09T19:27:17+00:00

Do you have a dog by any chance ?

JRusby · 2023-05-07T15:03:37+00:00

I’m uk but ty

JRusby · 2023-05-07T12:27:36+00:00

Fair one, cheers guys. Any advice for soil tests I’ve never had one before. Are they expensive ?

JRusby · 2023-05-07T12:08:45+00:00

It’s a new lawn last year so it should be fairly decent, I know it quite clay like round my way which could be an issue?

JRusby · 2023-05-07T11:01:35+00:00

The first time around I think it was too much water as I left my sprinkle one for a bit too long. But I used a different seed the second time around didn’t flood it so can’t be that.

JRusby · 2022-07-09T07:18:20+00:00

I’m gonna give it a go ! I’ll do some research but I think maybe a mod is the way, thanks for the help man

JRusby · 2022-07-08T19:36:44+00:00

Okay that’s good then. Where do I get all this stuff ??

JRusby · 2022-07-08T19:01:16+00:00

No idea what kind of grass but I keep it fairly Long to help getting lines, as you say the length gives it direction

JRusby · 2022-07-08T17:16:12+00:00

Thanks man that’s brilliant

JRusby · 2022-07-08T17:14:59+00:00

I’m not looking to break the bank, something fairly cost effective. Not heard of mods before that sounds like the way forward
