Happy New Year Lawnies, this video is about how to fix overgrown, spongy and thatchy lawn and we fix this by doing a renovation in the growing season. This is Lawnporn Ep2 of 2022.... Welcome!
Those lucky enough to go away on holiday often just leave the lawn alone for a couple of weeks and come back to the overgrown lawn, hit it with a mower and see heaps of brown, you are not alone...
Not that this has happened to my mate Nick, he just got slaughtered with work and life and just couldn't get to the lawn for a few week.
La Niña is certainly playing having here in South Australia as there has been loads of rain followed by very hot temps and then repeating... Growth went crazy on Nick and boom!!!... the lawn just shot up!!!
During growing season for warm season grasses (TifTuf is a warm season couch/bermuda so it actively grows in spring and summer) we can do a renovation.
So a renovation is low-mow, scarify, aerate, topdress... (Buffalo do not mow it to the ground)
For TifTuf at this time of year, growth will be quick and being summer hitting 40's is pretty common so he'll water a few times a day to keep the area moist whilst the lawn grows in (15mins at 7am 12pm 6pm or similar)
Immediately after topdressing get soil wetter and fertiliser in at the very least. For Nick we had to wait a day (we watered before that) and applied 300mL of Moist per 100m2 and 2kg of Four Seasons. This was watered in for 20 minutes. Soil wetter helps lock the water into the soil and the fertiliser will take care of the feeding and being a slow release this is ideal.
Like I said in the video, I don't charge for renovations. I'll do what I can when I can to help you out... obviously I can't do everybody's but if you flick a comment with your situation and what you need,,, I'll see what I can help you with.
That aerator is amazing..!!
