yellow lawn
"RCW" .@. wrote in message ... "Rob Barrett" wrote in message ... I seeded some new perennial rye grass lawn areas (previously overgrown flowerbeds) about a year ago and they've done quite well. But they turn quite yellow in cool, wet weather like we're having now (I'm in Durham). The old lawn areas seem to love this environment and go lush green, while the new lawn slows its growth and yellows. I noticed this pattern during some similar spells earlier in the year. Any thoughts or suggestions? BTW, it may be a red herring, but it's green and growing better around the edges where it's up against paving. My soil is generally mildly alkaline. Bring the pH up to slightly acidic and feed with some nitrate fertiliser to my uneducated guess it sounds likely to be lack of nitrogen if you don't fertilise spring n autumn. A feed of fertiliser is the prognosis for that. Take you pick of fertilisers, a good organic fix of nitrogen is blood and bone (which also adds phosphorous) or one of the synthetic fertilisers that also has phosphorous and potassium. also try giving it a regular mow if not done already and mulch the grass back in to the lawn if your mower will allow. This will cycle nitrogen from the grass back in to your lawn. rob |

I can't really help mut mine is greener next to the paving too. |

give it a feed an autumn fertiliser and maybe a small dose of iron should
make a difference "Rob Barrett" wrote in message ... I seeded some new perennial rye grass lawn areas (previously overgrown flowerbeds) about a year ago and they've done quite well.
