QUOTE(jagjag @ Jan 14 2015, 12:40 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « My grass got all these problems... 2nd pic - Overgrown / uneven on few spots 4th pic - Overgrown on the edges Can anyone advise me what is the problem n what sud i do on it. Thinking of cutting it short n evenly n let it grow again...but doubt this will work ( i mean to cut it short evenly )... Overgrown is due to lack of sunlight. The uneven area look like something is digging it. Overgrown at edges you can resolve by using a small knife to cut at the edge. Make sure you cut them in straight line.

QUOTE(jagjag @ Jan 14 2015, 02:24 PM) MMM..lack of sunlight...i can say that my lawn is evenly expose to sunlight wor... I have doubt anyone go to dig that...could it be any insect or sort .... Cutting the edge will expose the non-green part of the grass, i have don this before infact and when it grow back,same things happen..  Evenly expose at all time? You sure no shade at certain time? They could be dig by dogs, cats and etc. You cut a thin line between you pavement and grass. Cut all the way down to the soil and remove it together with the root. Is line creating a line between your pavement and grass. It will look very tidy and need.

QUOTE(jagjag @ Jan 15 2015, 06:01 PM) U mean create a gap between the grass and pavement rite?? so we will see a gap of soil between the pavement and grass and let the grass grow to cover up the gap??? Yes, create a gap between grass and pavement. If you keep the grass short, you will see a line.

QUOTE(kamilnu @ Jan 16 2015, 11:48 PM) Always cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height. U cut short then the soil will be more exposed to sun's heat and soil will dry faster. I always cut to the shortest possible.

QUOTE(kamilnu @ Jan 18 2015, 02:36 AM) Not a good idea unless you live in cold climate country. How about showing us your grass. I see they also cut the common area grass equally short. Ok, I will try to upload photos but I just got them cut last week, very brownish lawn I have now.

QUOTE(set @ Jan 29 2015, 03:44 PM) I have some weed problem with my grass, this type, which is very annoying, it is hard to pull them out with the roots because it really snap easily halfway if I pull it too hard, I tried loosen up the soil and pull it, but it is like hydra, I pull one out, it grow back in bigger numbers few days later, and it grow mighty fast and outgrown my grass overnight, help? There is a tool to remove weeds. I think some one post here before in the earlier pages. How i treat them is, i pull them out by reaching my hand all the way down inside my carpet grass, pull from the hard part of it. And the only solution to get reed of all these weeds, is do regular pulling until your carpet grass is strong and hard to invade by weeds. And this take time.

QUOTE(kamilnu @ Jan 31 2015, 01:11 AM) The issue is that the black seed is almost not exactly below the weed. The weed sprout out after the roots move horizontaly until it finds a gap in the carpet grass layer. Agree on the continous pulling until the grass is tight and crowd out the weeds. The tool is use for pulling weeds, not to clear seeds.

QUOTE(kamilnu @ Jan 31 2015, 01:21 AM) Twice in 2 weeks is a lot. Should be every 35 days. Putting too much fertlizer will speed the growth and the old/dead leaves/rhizomes, roots no time to melt in the soil. Watering should be done infrequent but deep. Daily watering is only for newly laid grass. Watering everyday will make the roots shallow because they can find water easily. You need a deep root system for the grass to be strong. Water only in early morning, watering in the evening will lead to disease especially fungus problems cos the grass is kept moist too long. I talked to a pro landscaper which maintains the turf grass at Saujana Golf and Country Club. He said that a good carpet grass is one that is slightly dry. Not moist and certainly not water logged. I don't water my grass everyday. Only give water to plants and flower everyday.
