The biggest factors in lawns recovering after the summer drought are going to be aeration and application of wetting agents.
Soils have become baked and this usually results in what’s called Localised Dry Patch taking hold. You will see this as yellowing bare patches that show no sign of life even after the rain has returned. Fungi in the soil secrete a waxy chemical which binds to the soil resulting in water not being allowed to pass through. The soil has turned hydrophobic.
Aeration helps create pockets where the water can get through. Applying a wetting agent is the next step. This releases the surface tension of the soil, allowing the water to filter through it again.
Our late summer liquid feed has everything in it that the soil and plant need to get going again . A special mix by us, this isn’t available off the shelf.
