The message
from roonster contains these words:
I laid 40 sq meters of rolawns turf 4 weeks ago. Its growing really
well, and is nice and lush green. However I lifted the edges up and it
has still not taken to the top soil.
What do you expect? a miracle?
There are a few roots showing through but not much. And non of them are
holding to the soil. I pul it up lightly and it comes up straight away.
As one would expect.
Is there any reason why it hasnt taken yet?
Yes - even in the height of growth you'd be expecting too much. At this
time of year, growth is slow, or even nonexistent.
Maybe i need to fertilize
with something?
No.
Also shall i give it a trim now? It is about 2 and a half inches high
now.
Trim the top off if you must - don't cut it right down. What
photosynthesis takes place at this time of year will be required to
maintain the roots, and start them growing in the spring.
