Just an update on my Lawn.

It will be 4 weeks in a couple of days since I did the scarification. I have just mowed with my SB45 (after watering the night before to keep the sand from blowing around) to around 10mm height. In some places the lawn looks great and shows some exciting promise. Unfortunately the photos are a bit over exposed in that area so you can't see how good it looks. In other areas, there has been little to no regrowth. These areas are areas that are shaded by trees and not getting as much sun. I am hoping there is still something alive under there, but just taking its time to come out!!

Excuse the photos which were taken this morning and the light was not great.

Yesterday I add some more fertiliser to the areas that are not growing back as quick as I hoped. I am hoping to kickstart them a little as I am a little concerned the grass will not recover there. In the last month, Sydney has had lots of sunny hot days and fairly reasonable rain also (afternoon storms). On the days it does not rain I normally run the irrigation system which gives it a good soaking. Is there anything I can do to get these areas that are not coming back to speed up? Is the couch still alive under there somewhere?? Am I being impatient!!!???

Also, because the good quality fertilised soil has been exposed for the best part of a month, some weeds are starting to take hold. Can I spray with Kamba M for Oxalis? That little clover leaf is the bane of my lawn's existance. I prefer to get it quickly before it gets too established. Just not sure if herbicides might stunt the fledging lawn in some areas?

In some areas the lawn looks fantastic. Better than ever. If I can get the whole lawn to come back that well I will be over the moon!!

Cheers,

Adrian
