Control Thatch Build-Up
Thatch is the accumulation of above-soil runners, propagated by the grass. This layer should be about 1/2" ( 1.25cm) on a healthy lawn, and kept in balance by natural decomposition, earthworms and microorganisms. Too much thatch prevents water and nutrients from reaching the grass roots.
You can reduce thatch by using sound practices such as proper mowing heights and frequencies,sufficient watering and ample fertilization. Being excessive does not improve lawn quality it will only create other problems. |
