Hi all,
Anyone got any tips to keep the lawn green through summer?
I have 350m2 of kikuyu lawn and it looks great during spring however it goes yellow and dies off during summer.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patty, I know nothing about lawn but I have used Shirleys No 17 lawn food (spreading just before the rain) for my previous home and works very well. I also used water storage crystals by forking the lawn and manually inserting a pinch of water storage crystals into each hole. Than started to have green pimply lawn ( some area are more green than other), just make sure you whatever you use spread out evenly. Please check out with professional to suit the climate in your local area.
