Lawn care

Corey__ · Jan 20, 2020 7:17 am

So I bought my first house a couple of months ago and the lawn was really struggling. I don't have that great of knowledge but I'm doing my best. I was just wondering if anyone out there can help me to idenify what grass is actually growing. It appears to be two different kinds.

2nd last photo at that time your lawn can still be saved. Ie. Lots of water for a start.

Last photo I think it's gone. U need to lay new turf.

My guess is buffalo grass.

Sorry don't know if I was clear. The last photo is what it was like when I took over. The photo above that is what it is like now with just plenty of watering. It's been about 3 weeks and that's how much it has bounced back. I was just wondering if there is anything else I could do to encourage some thickness and for it to spread.

the same happened with my lawn and now every now and then I put baileys 3.1.1 fertiliser on it from Bunnings and with in a few days it’s thicker and greener

I swear by this stuff

If your getting clear dead patches while th rest of it is going well consider a lawn grub treatment and then repeat two weeks later. Sir Walter is very vulnerable.
