Hi all,

I have a bit of a dilemma and I thought someone might have some advice!

The landlord laid some new turf two weeks before we moved into this house, so about 8 weeks ago. It was looking really lush and green and I have cut it twice since we moved in. However, despite daily watering it's starting to look a bit grey and patchy and one part I cut a bit too short which is now looking awful!

Should I now switch to cutting weekly or should I just leave it to grow for a while?

I have some evergreen and some patch magic but not sure what to use. The evergreen says not to use on new turf so I'm hesitant to try it! Should I spread patch magi over the patch I cut too short?

Thanks,

Kevin

    Try the patch magic & leave it for a couple of weeks before you mow. Then try not cutting so short thereafter.
