New Lawn Yellowing

But now, although it's still very thick, the grass is starting to look yellowish. It's not underwatering, as I know the gray-green tinge underwatering causes. I have not fertililized the lawn since I laid it down (except for the starter fertilizer). I cut the grass high at the mower's highest setting, and use a mulching blade. (The mulched clippings are fine enough not to be visible on the lawn.) I deep soak the lawn three times a week. I feel like I'm doing everything "right" but still, it's looking yellowish. Any suggestions? You might try letting it dry out a little between waterings. Give the grass motivation to root deeper. Sod never really roots. Sod is extra susceptible to every lawn malady. Sod is like hydroponic lawn. If sod is not greening up it probably needs nitrogen. It's not possible to sucessfully grow sod withoiut an automated sprinkler system. Sod requires daily watering and constant [time release] fertilizing and pesticides. Sod is for those who have no patience and have more dollars than brain cells. Sod can't compete with a seeded lawn. |
