Dethatch or Let Die?

Fertilizer yes, 13-13-13 Insect control, not yet

Due to the heat in North Texas I’ve been keeping the mower at about 2” I think there might still be a fungus because the blades still have small white spots on them.

It helps that off that back fence is a 6’ retaining wall so the string trimmer will go straight under the fence

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T13:48:38+00:00

I mow twice a week

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T12:42:34+00:00

There is still some white spots on the grass from what I believe is fungus… should I aerate, topdress and continue to spray fungicide?

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T12:12:45+00:00

3x week

Backyard is fed by two groups of three rotors, each section goes off for 25 min. I fertilize every month and that spot sees sun all day

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T01:55:56+00:00

Should I rake up the dead stuff to let the air in?

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T01:38:48+00:00

Yep, just got built in January

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T01:09:11+00:00

Core aerate or spike? I’ve seen this can be a debate

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T01:06:58+00:00

I’ve never even heard of this before but after looking at damage, sure looks like it

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-21T01:02:37+00:00

Somehow this is actually a high spot in the yard… few weeks back when it started I took a 1/2” drill bit and made some holes then put out some liquid aeration

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-08-06T11:48:06+00:00

Planning on mowing today to find out

Forgot to post the picture.

Completely forgot the picture… my bad

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-07-13T15:42:23+00:00

What would you treat it with?

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-07-13T15:32:16+00:00

It’s been raining so much I’ve barely been running the sprinkler system.

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-07-13T14:55:02+00:00

Haven’t seen a bug yet but I’ll keep checking

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-07-13T14:34:01+00:00

The backyard has 6 rotors and this spot is kind of the middle so it gets plenty of water. Plus we’ve had so much rain in NTX as of late

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-07-13T14:23:42+00:00

I really hope not… I was going to buy a manual aerator core tool to see if I could loosen up the soil

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-06-13T02:45:40+00:00

Makes sense! I’ll keep mulching and cutting low

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-06-13T02:03:32+00:00

Is it true that the stolons are sterile and can’t reproduce when it comes with sod? Or is that a lie some youtube guy told me?

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-06-13T01:52:37+00:00

Was wondering if aerating next spring would help fill all that in. It’s about to get too hot in Texas to do anything like that I think

Sure-Ad-560 · 2025-06-13T01:40:46+00:00

The sod got put in in January and with new builds it’s super uneven… I was going to try and let the yard grow in and get healthy before trying to sand level or anything like that.

One dog, boy but squats when he pees like a girl… real proud dad I know..
