whats the best to green up my lawn l cut it every week and water after cut if dry. bits reseeded 12 week ago?

Answer 1

unfortunatly this dry weather has caused a lot of lawns to go brown

try a weed and feed and test to see if it's compacted (ie Very hard) if so then you need to fork over by pushing you garden fork in about 2-3 inches and moving it about do this all over it will loosen the soil underneath

in the autumm use a hollow tine fork this removes plugs of the lawn you then brush in a mixture of sand and compost to alow water in to the lawn and feed it do this yearly and your lawn should improve

Answer 2

There are four things you can do to give yourself a healthy, green lawn. And the good news is that you are doing two of them already!

1. Cut the lawn regularly. Once a week is about perfect. And try to cut it in a different direction each time. Say, North-South one week, East West the next.

2. Water it. Even when there are hosepipe bans, there are ways of watering the lawn. Try connecting a hosepipe from your bath - it doesn't really matter if you water it with soapy water!

3. Feed it. There are plenty of lawn feeds in the garden centres to choose from. But do this either late Autumn or early spring.

4 The most important one. Look after the soil. Grass will only grow well - and evenly - when the soil is in good condition. It ensures that the grass roots can grow sufficiently to draw up enough water from the subsoil. The best soil treatment is Plocher Soil Activator. Don't know if you can get it in the shops, but there is a website.

Wow. I'm surprised nobody mentioned THE EASIEST, quickest, and cheapest, most overlooked, AND MOST IMPORTANT way to ensure a healthy, dark-green lawn! Well besides the water and fertilizer that everyone else is mentioning, the best way to get a healthy lawn is to cut the lawn higher. You would be surprised to see how much more healthy your lawn will look if you cut it at 3.5" instead of 2-2.5" that most homeowners cut at. What many people don't realize is that plants feed themselves through the leaves by way of the Sun. Most people make the mistake of thinking that the fertilizer "feeds" the plant, when in fact the fertilizer just helps the plant grow leaves to feed itself. The longer the leaf, the better FED your lawn will be. Remember 3.5" every week, and SHARPEN YOUR BLADES REGULARLY.

Answer 4

Spray Paint

Seriously Aerate it does wonders, 3-4 times a year

Dethatch and sweep once yard clippings once a year. I do this and I have the purttyest grass around. I'm too cheap to fertilize LOL

Answer 5

i fertilize with whatever's cheapest at the hardware store every spring and during the august dog day's....i live by a stream and use that water to spray my lawn (sup pump & hose & sprinklers)
my lawn looks great! (except that horrible spot where the kids put up a tent....every time i take it down they put it back up...ahhhhhh!!!)

Answer 6

Use Milorganite. Safe, natural. Used by many golf course greens superintendents.

Answer 7

water after sun goes down,use weed and feed after cutting and before watering

Answer 8
