I have a depressingly destroyed lawn. Partly dog damage, partly lack of care.
Its mostly buffalo, but some couch self seeded and grows better than the buffalo does, so i'm inclined to leave it and let the two types grow where they like it most. Is this a good idea?
We are thinking to get some top soil, but don't know what time of year to put it on.
We also need to replace the sprinklers, but i haven't really found a type/brand that i'm happy with yet.
Any ideas and advice anybody has would be greatly appreciated!
Some easy hacks I've used before
Use an application of Seasol liquid fertiliser to revive dead/struggling lawn. It's getting a bit cool now but you could probably still give it a feed.
Mow without the catcher on so the grass gets recycled back into the lawn.
I've had some success mowing leaves into dead parts of lawn as well. Sometimes it just needs to retain a bit of moisture to get started again.
Yeah, i started using seasol its worked well in many of the parts. I might try the dead leaves idea as well
