  • I'm always trying new experiments and today I decided I wanted to see how low I can mow my perennial ryegrass so there's a few steps that will be needed to get there. Aeration, breaking up the cores for topdressing, applying Lawn Supply Company VigORR and overseeding my elite perennial ryegrass were all part of the fun...as well as a final topdressing with mason sand.

    Hello!
    Please help!
    After applying sand top dressing (half m3 /100m2) and smoothing it with a leveling rake, I noticed that no matter how I try to level the area, there remain tender, thin and weak horizontally lying blades of grass under the sand. Should I worry about them, or will they come out after a few days? They emerge as a result of a water jet (or water sprayed from half a meter away), but this slightly erodes the effect of leveling because it re-excavates the area filled with sand between the larger clumps of old grass, and can also displace upturned seeds and fertilizer particles. So far, I have applied only half of the planned amount of top dressing, I don't dare to spread more, I would like to wait until the grass grows a little (I cut it into short pieces before aerating the lawn). At the same time, I don't think I can wait too long, because I sowed fast-germinating seeds, and once the new grass comes, it shouldn't be necessary to loosen the soil. What do you advise?

      No I don't think that would be a good mix to try to blend together. Depending on the soil properties you could get into trouble with them becoming hard as a rock once it sticks together and dries. Sand capping is safer because it keeps the sand layer on top and utilizes that for better control on watering, fertilizer etc
