Looking good.

A piece of advice. Never hose a new planted lawn and over watering at one go. Shower it lightly every morning and evening. Hosing with heavy water washes away the mud/soil under the grass to the sand and resulting in uneven ground. When rain skip watering.

Also try not to step on it until it take root. How to know when it has taken root? When you see the grass has spread from one patch to the others. If you must step on it use flat slippers. Keep dogs away.

The gap between each piece of grass is too wide, they should be slightly over lap to each other.

Thanks, I never hose it but it been raining since the time i just finish half of it ( Last Saturday evening ) and it been raining almost the whole day the day after. Yesterday evening also raining. So cant avoid this.

In fact i try to step on the patch / join which are not properly flat to flatten it. I don keep dog so not a problem but the biggest problem is the CAT. Lots of stray cats ard my place and they like to do their business in my place when we r not around. This morning i notice 1 'fresh bundle of fertilizer' on my grass...

BTW, do you think the gap is too wide???

Opps...think its too late to do anything on this. Just hope it will grow nicely cover the gap. The problem is when i was laying the sod, it start to rain and i was like rushing and its getting late as well..haizzzz...

Hi, I have these insects in my garden, are they harmful to human or plant?
I sprayed the bugs poison but they seem to survive the poison very well...

After 2 weeks, its look like this..it seem that the area that covered by my glass awning is growing but the one expose is not.....

From the pic it look good to me.

Cat like to do business when soil is loose

Thanks. But i notice that since i plant the grass, i only had one time this cat come to do their business here..

How do i deter cats from doing this? they like to come and do their business, but some people told me that it's not cat, it's some other animal because cats will cover their business

try put salt around it

Besides loose soil, cat like to do business when there are trimmed grass abound and cat will gather these dead grass, debris, leaves at the place the do business.

Yes, this method works

This morning there piece of "cat business" in right in the middle of the joint of of grass sod...

It's a cat. Yes they will cover theirs if can but if nothing to cover it like sand of loose soil...guess they will just leave it there...like my case now...

Will try this ...but izzit mean we have to spread salt all over the grass????
Anyway if fertilizer izzit workin as well...

Anyone have any idea how much will a 1 ton lorry of sand cost?

The best is to ask ur nearest hardware shop.

Hardware sell by bags

Some they have by load...u can see mostly they store at their backyard..ask for it ...

not on the grass la.around the parameter.
