Dethacting issues
2 years ago I laid down new turf.
Last year I noticed the grass was different coloured in different areas and growing at different speeds in different areas. On doing research I decided to aerate and dethatch the lawn. I was quite surprised by how much dead grass/thatch was coming out whilst dethatching but assumed it was because when the grass was originally grown they mowed it a lot and didn't pick up the clippings. This year I ntoe again the grass doesn't seem to be ideal so I ran my rake through the grass again and was surprised to find that a lot of dead grass is coming up - why is this? I always collect my grass clippings when I mow. Should I be able to get to a point where no more stuff is coming up or would that not be ideal in of itself? Ihave had a quick look at some websites and they reocmmend havign osme thatch and cutting up some grass to see a cross section of what you have. Which I will do tomorrow. How much should I have ideally? I am using a standard rake not a dethatching rake. |
