Does overseeding work?
Dig a plug sample and see if you see grubs.. grubs will eat the grass
from the roots. If so, use GRUBX to get rid of them. " wrote in : My lawn is half green and half brown. I can't figure it out. The blades that are green look great. But there is a 50/50 mixture of dead brown grass that is still rooted to the ground. Last year I mistakenly thought this was thatch, so I bought a dethatcher. But then when I learned how to check thatch by looking at a cross section of the soil and grass, I found I had no thatch problem. Here's what it looked like last year: http://www.mbsoundworks.com/tempstuff/grass1.jpg http://www.mbsoundworks.com/tempstuff/grass2.jpg The pictures were taken before the drought, so it wasn't a water problem. You can see what it looks like compared to my neighbor's yard! Can anyone help me? I'm in northwestern Illinois. As the lawns are waking up, I can already see that it's going to look the same as it did last year. I plug-aerated in the Fall, and put down winterizer. I've put down my Scotts pre-emergent/fertilizer already. I'm willing to do the work, but I'm at a loss as to what the problem is! |
