In article , pied piper writes So all the experts are wrong about fertiliser and you are right dont be so cynical I wish people would post reasoning in support of their diktats. The only way I can judge whether PP's or Mike's advice is the better is by the supporting arguments and respective posting histories on urg - in this respect Mike has the edge! -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" So the last 25 years I have been wrong to feed my golf greens,bowling greens,cricket squares,football pitches,rugby pitches,ornamental lawns and various other turf areas. As Kay says, we know Mike Lyle and the quality of his advice. With respect to you, we know nothing about you, other than that you appear to want an argument, and that's rather tiresome if you can't back up your 'expertise' with some hard information. And we only have your (unknown) word for the rather sweeping claims you make above. This is kind of fellow-urglers. I'll absolutely stand by my thinking on the specific original question. On the broader issue of whether lawns are often over-fed, I stand by that, too. But PP has a point when it comes to those sports surfaces which have their top growth removed very often (in some, I've heard, several times a day!) and very short. These are special cases. First-class cricket pitches in particular are plain weird, horticulturally speaking. But we were talking about a _lawn_. I think it's highly misguided to treat all grassed areas the same way: with a "one size fits all" policy he's probably wasting money at best. -- Mike. |

Logic (doesn't always apply in gardening I know, but) would imply that
a certain amount of 'starvation' might make the roots grow a bit more in search of nutrients ....just my 2p's worth |
