it doesn't really spread even after 2 months, just grew slightly taller.

and somehow it's not strongly attached to the soil, i can just take it out without any strength.

Did you put sand before you lay the grass?
I think as long as the grass is not turning yellowish, they should be doing fine.

That should be ok.
It take a bit time to adhere to the sand.
Now important thing is watering.

been pulling weeds daily!too much weeds...
my gardener says it is like that for first few months till the grass is mature.Is it true?hopefully  biggrin.gif
.funny thing is the one side of my garden has no weed but on the other side is fully of weeds...
*
Yes, after your grass is matured and grow strong, weeds can not penetrate in anymore.
The 1st few month is crucial.

some development nearby? When people clearing land for project they/we actually invading the animal homes. No home to go destroy by human so invading your home till you found them and kill them or they die of starvation no food to eat.

One other possibility is someone rear snake as hobby and then decided to let them go to the bushes near your home thinking it will survive in the "wild" but the domesticated snakes find it hard everywhere it goes and ended up at your home. Then of course the human race we always kill as long as it present some threat.

Haha, these are totally different cases already.
Regardless you have grass or not, they might just come to pay you a visit. tongue.gif

I would like to know whether the way I plant the indoor plant (in picture) is correct? do i need to move the plant and soil out of the black plastic and put it directly inside the pot?

Remove the plastic.
no need punch hole at the vase, if you control the amount of water every time of watering.

greetings everyone, i have some problem

i have phillipine carpet grass around the yard of my house. it needs trimming every 2-3 weeks. I trim the grass with Black and Decker GL300 trimming tool. But i found that the machine can be used in short intervals, about 15-20 minutes, and mine was emitting smoke and the motor is too hot, and sort of slowed down (limp mode? i think)

is this normal? is the machine damaged somehow? what tools do you use to trim the grass?

another question, how to prevent excessive weed growth on the carpet grass? any suitable methods for my phillipines carpet grass?

thanks for your time
*
If you use Black and Decker, you need to stop at the interval of every 10 mins. So far i use it ok, it shouldn't emit any smoke.

The only way to prevent weed is, you need to go around your lawn every week and plug those weed. It will slow down their growth. But you can't 100% eliminate their growth as there are too many means for them to come in again.

Maybe you can consider hardscape

I'm getting conflicting remarks from people. Some tell me plant closer some tell me give gap 3"..some tell me give gap 6". Those who tell me to increase spacing is because can save on grass and not let the grass overlap each other when they grow thus causing bumps or uneven growth. What the hell...i just plant lah...the grass knows how to grow.

Leave gap to save money? How much you can save?
You didn't check with the nursery where you bought the grass?

That depend how much you want to save the money and how fast you want the grass grow. The bigger the gap, the slower the grass grow fully. As it need time to craw and fill up. Just like that.

Last time cost rm7 for a 1'x1' patch grass. To save, I cut it 100mmx100mm and gap it at about 6". It take about 7mth to fully fill up the gap and grown nice. Need fertilizer to speed it up.

This is spot turfing method already.

QUOTE(kamilnu @ Dec 16 2014, 08:18 PM)
Quite a bit....semi-d house compound. Check what? How much gap? Nursery will tell 'up to you'.
*
Current Philippine grass is RM 5.00 for one 1'x2' grass tile.
Semi D probably need 600 ft2. Total cost RM 1500. Say you save 50% which is RM 750.
Then you need maybe a year to get them cover your whole lawn.
RM 750 / 12 mth = RM 62.50 / mth
This saving compare to your extra effort of maintenance and risk of the grass can not grow well. I feel not worth.

Hi All

I've some issue with my pearl grass and need to find solution to it.  I've planted some pearl grass (sod) bought from Sg Buloh nursery at my small backyard of my house shifted last June (its intermediate unit).  I tried to have as much greens as possible didn't want to cement my backyard.

There are spot of brownish colour and some like dying but I am not too sure what is the reason for it? too much water (flooding but the water can go away quiet okay even if during heavy rain pour) or the soil too dried (not enough watering)  I am using black soils for pearl grass and this is the 2nd time that I planted it in the same place except that I add in some "walking stone" so that I can care of my other plants (rosemary which also like brownish at the bottom but green for new leaf, and some mints as well).

My backyard dont really get much of sunlight or is pearl grass not suitable for my backyard? Do I need to water the grass everyday? twice a day?

Thanks

I bought the same kind of grass from the same nursery ans was told its pearl grass ( as cow grass is a wider and fast grown out ? ) so you mean the greenish one is real grass ?

I am getting some professional to have a look on condition and advise me of what need to be done, at least to learn something new from professional.

From the picture
top is pearl, bottom left is cow grass, bottom right is philipine grass

Correct me if I am wrong

Top: Philipine grass

Right: Cow grass

I think the top is Philipine grass, left is Pearl grass and the right is probably not a cow grass. The leaf abit thin and overall look abit fine.  hmm.gif

Maybe our left and right is 'terbalik'. The left i am referring to is the left hand side of the viewer when look at the picture from computer screen.

I differentiate the grass by the width of the grass.
Thinnest = Pearl
Medium = Philipine
Thick = cow

There are many other grass, but mainly these 3 are sold locally.
