Hi
We've had the joyful and back breaking task of preparing our soil for turf which has just been delivered.
Do I have the method correct - we have horrible sticky clay soil.
Remove 125mm of clay
Get rotary hoe to dig up the earth underneath
rake out and level 100 mm of good quality top soil
gypsum
lawn fertilizer
mix the previous 3 together to a depth of about 1/4 inch
water lightly
lay the lawn - brick pattern
water deeply
What type of soil prep fertilizer should we get ... I read Cresco was good? Is it necessary or can we use a fertilizer over the top of the turf (or do we need to do both)?
Its a warm day so I am sprinkling the turf until we are ready to lay it in a couple of hours. I know we should have put the gypsum down first but we had difficulty coordinating deliveries.
Thanks
Dy
