Growing grass is Child's Play...
...it is turning the grass plants into a lawn that is the difficult part!
Grass will not grow everywhere despite what many gardeners think. It prefers light and steady air flow as well as regular feeding, moisture and keeping all the baddies out like Moss, Lawn Insects, Weeds and Disease to name a few.
If you have a problem with your lawn, there is usually an underlying cause which will need to be resolved or improved before the grass will pick itself up. Too much shade, boggy ground, poor soil, topography, compacted, over utilised, overhang from shrubs and trees, the drip, drip, drip of water coming off trees, neglect, improper maintenance and treatment regime, the list is endless!
Turf grasses like shrubs in the garden do not last forever, less if the lawn is overworked or neglected or mown too short. You cannot be reactive with a lawn much like pruning a shrub and expecting it to be restored to it's former glory a month later.
Domestic lawns require attention at least once a week and mowing it only will not reap the rewards. It will require feeding every three months and the reactive removal of any lawn pests, lawn disease and lawn weeds and moss so as to give the turf grasses the best environment in which to grow and flourish.
