Hi All,
I have recently had installed a velveteen lawn (paspalum vaginatum).
It has been installed quite lumpy. It is a disgrace and its eating at me!
It has been in for about 8 weeks and seems to be growing quite good, a few brownish spots, but I think that may just be from my 2 labradors doing their business all over it.
I have just purchased a cylinder mower as I've been told this is going to be a much better option than my rotary mower.
I now have a large job ahead to try and flatten the lawn out. I would really love some help and direction in regards to achieving this goal. I thought my first step might be, mow with the new reel mower, screed some lawn sand into any holes and then fertilise.
Does this sound like a good idea?
My next questions are, how short should I go? which mower, cylinder or rotary? any tips on the type of top fill to use and fertiliser? Is the lawn too young? or is it the weather not right yet, to top dress?
Any other feedback would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Evo
