Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Dec 24, 2016 8:50 am Hi all, 5 days ago we laid 150m2 of eureka kikuyu. We laid soil conditioner over the existing soil, then spread water crystals and fertiliser provided and recommended by the turf grower, then staggered the lawn over the top. I have noticed over the last couple of days a few squares are yellowing and seem to be getting more so, while most of the turf is absolutely thriving. Funnily enough it's the turf that's probably getting the most sun that's turning yellow, while the turf in the shade has been fairing extremely well. I thought this was unusual since kike didnt like shade? At first I thought they may be areas that didnt get enough water, conditioner or fertiliser, but it seems odd how the yellowing is limited to exact squares of turf. So there can be a struggling yellow square of turf, with thriving squares around it? I was just wondering if anyone had known of anything similar as I don't want this lovely turf to completely yellow! We sprinkler for 3 x daily for 15 mins and hand water after each sprinkler session to ensure it gets a good soak Re: New turf some yellow squares 2Dec 24, 2016 2:08 pm Make sure the turf rolls in question are making good contact with the soil underneath. Might help to lightly top dress those areas with washed sand to help hold water to the turf roll better and increase soil contact underneath. Put extra water on the yellow areas also. On hot days, water lightly up to 5 times a day if the turf looks like it needs a drink. The turf in the shade isn't as exposed to sun and heat which isn why it is better at this stage.
