One of the most common complaints that many owners of lawn turf face is that it can often appear stressed. It is often the case that brown patches appear during prolonged periods of dry warm weather and for many homeowners, but the reality of the situation means that the problem is often easier to fix than it might at first appear.
Lawn Turf Watering Routine
Panic is not the gardener’s best friend, so if you see brown patches appearing on your lawn turf and you know that the weather has been substantially drier and hotter for a few days than it has previously, it may simply be the case that you need to instigate a watering routine. For those gardeners who have ensured that they look after their lawn in early spring by aerating, scarifying and top dressing, the lawn should be in a good strong healthy condition which will enable it to respond positively to a good soaking.
Good Soaking
Gardeners should not be afraid of ensuring that a good soaking really does mean a good soaking (local authority regulations allowing) and one piece of advice is to set the irrigation system going on a patch of lawn turf and after the time it takes to make a hot beverage and drink it, then is the time to move the system on to the next area that requires watering.
As stated previously, so long as the lawn is well cared for, it should recover quickly. There may be instances however where a little top dressing is required to further support the growth of the damaged area.
