So our couch back lawn was depleted and reverting back to sand as it’s so old , it needed a big boost of top dressing. I used Hortico Top Dress from Bunnings. I did this 8 days ago.
Rake the top dress out.
I like to use a granular wetting agent. WettaSoil from Bunnings. Once this is added make sure to hand water it in.
I like to use Richgro Rock Minerals as a natural slow release fertiliser that won’t dump too much nitrogen straight away. I also use this throughout our garden. Again hand water in straight away.
Give it a good hand water.
Safety tip - wear a mask when applying these products as they are quite dusty.
8 days later it’s looking better, the harsh patches need more time but it is an improvement.
I will post a follow up in another week to show you how it is going 😊
So the M-I-L’s new house has heaps of lawn !!!! Couch lawn. And it has been neglected. So we have done the same here as we did to our lawn.
Lawn Top Dress
Granular Wetting Agent
Rock Minerals
All purchased from Bunnings.
Hand water thoroughly as always.
Wearing a mask as it’s dusty work.
It's great to hear you've seen some improvement @mich1972. It sounds like it been a scorching week over there.
Many thanks for sharing, and I can wait to see your results.

We mowed the back lawn, recovering well and patches growing back after top dress. Very happy now !!!!!!
That's coming along very well @mich1972 and appears very lush!
Many thanks for updating us.
