Turf Advice

 


Hi,
I bought this turf from B'nQ and put it down about a month ago. large
sections
of it went brown but a fair bit of it took and looks pretty
healthy. I wondered
if there were any products / advice that could
encourage the healthy stuff to
spread? Currently I'm watering at 07:00
in the morning and evening with a jet
hose.

Any advice gratefully accepted!

I've never seen such a perfect patchwork of sod where some sections
are perfect and others are a total zero.   Assuming the soil was
relatively uniform, the sod and installation were the same, I can't
begin to guess what went wrong.

But to answer your question, whether the grass will spread depends on
what kind of grass it is, which you didn't say.   If it's a clump type
grass, like tall fescue, it will not spread.   If it's bluegrass, it
will spread slowly over time.    But from a practical standpoint, it
doesn't matter.   The only thing that's going to make that look good
without waiting and tending to it for years is to replace the failed
sections.

A month into establishment, I'd look into gradually reducing the
watering.
