Hi everyone,
Need some help and advice with my lawn. I've aerated fertilized and used Dynamic Lifter in November and the lawn has been fine until the last few weeks where its yellow in some areas and patchy in others with significant dry patches. I water every 3 days for 30 min.
Hello @scbh81
Thanks for sharing your question about your kikuyu lawn.
It looks like your lawn is going through some stress, but with a few adjustments, it can recover nicely. Since you've already aerated and fertilized with Dynamic Lifter in November, you're off to a great start. The yellowing and patchiness could be due to several factors, such as uneven watering, soil compaction, heat stress or even pest or disease issues.
Firstly, I recommend checking your watering schedule. While watering every three days for 30 minutes may seem sufficient, it's possible that some areas are not getting enough moisture. You might want to adjust your watering pattern to ensure even coverage or consider watering more frequently during hotter periods. A soil wetting agent, like the one from Seasol, available at Bunnings, can help improve water penetration and distribution across your lawn.
Additionally, applying a product like Yates Lawn Repair or Scotts Lawn Builder Patch Magic can help rejuvenate the dry and patchy areas. These products are designed to fill in bare spots and promote healthy regrowth. Ensure you follow the instructions for best results.
It's also a good idea to inspect your lawn for any signs of pests, such as lawn grubs, which could cause damage. If you find evidence of pests, a suitable treatment, such as Munns Professional Lawn Grub and Beetle Killer, could be necessary.
By addressing these issues, your lawn should start to recover and look lush again soon. Keep an eye on its progress and adjust your care routine as needed.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
