Hi all,

My garden is Philippines grass. however, after fertilizing with urea (small white ball). It shows dark green patches all over the place. what could i do?

Thanks. by the way, how much of white ball for 1000 sqft of area? someone told me to put 2-3 soup spoon for 1000 sqft. Is it correct?

what do you mean by trimming the carpet?

Hi Stevie 8 and all others,

Please see the pictures. how could i fill up the gap between grass. there are black holes. Very ugly.

Hi,

anyone cares to advise on the problem below: why are there holes among the grass?

Hi Stevie8,

Thanks alot for your advice. I will check the soil this weekend.

for fertilizer (UREA), how much to put in a 4 liter water for 1000 sqft?

Go to Jalan Sungai Buloh. I saw a landscape shop (north side of jalan sungai buloh towards Subang, Lot 16&17). i think it's called SMM.
it is selling systetic grass RM9.9 / sqft and RM12.90 / sqft.

Go to check it out.

Added on February 27, 2012, 10:43 amHi Stevie8 and all,

thanks for the feedback.

regarding the spotted area, I see no sand layer at all. for the good grass, I see some thin layer of sands.

Then, I have 2 questions that need help.
1) should I add more sands on top of the grass on the spotted grass? (please note that i haven't fertilize the lawn from Jan 2011 to Nov 2011 due to busy schedule)

2) I also have water retention issue. I was thinking to add height at the back by putting more sands. It will generate a slope so that water could flow from the back to the front drain. ( this will solve issue #1 and #2)

thanks for valuable opinion and your time for feedback.

I understand the fake grass is in roll. Each roll has a width of 6.5'. how do you stitch different pieces of fake grass together?

what if strong wind? the edge will be flipped right? how to make them sticking to the ground.

thanks.

Hi Stevie,

I agree. I actually plan to put it on my outside pavement. Not my garden. you are right, the cost will kill me.

by the way, any feedback for my two questions in previous post?
1) should I add more sands on top of the grass on the spotted grass? (please note that i haven't fertilize the lawn from Jan 2011 to Nov 2011 due to busy schedule)

2) I also have water retention issue. I was thinking to add height at the back by putting more sands. It will generate a slope so that water could flow from the back to the front drain. ( this will solve issue #1 and #2)

thanks for advice. understood.

Hi stevie,

this is good idea. will do it during rainy day.

I was actually worried on truckload of sands :-)

normally, how thick should a layer of sands be?

one more plus point: easy to take out the weeds if you have a layer of sands.

hi all,

my friend introduced a chemical from Dupont. it will kill the weed but not the philipine grass. I used it only if i didn't take care of the garden for months and weeds were all over the place.

it was effective. you need to spray your garden once a week for a few weeds.

leeyung,

flowers of grass.. is it good thing or bad thing?

Yes, it worked for me. it's by Dupont ALMIX 20WP (kelas IV).
spray it once every 2 weeks. all the weeds will die and your philipine grass will survive.

I went to a shop in klang valley. They sell all the chemicals and gardening stuff.

it's in front of klang KTM commuter statoin. the shop is facing the KTM commuter station directly. You can see they sell garden chemicals etc.
I thought this is easy to find.... my friend just told me going to this shop.

Yes, it looks the same.

Added on May 26, 2012, 11:02 pmMy grass got patches. My neighbor asked me to fill it up with sands. Is it good idea?

Second problem: regardless of fertilizing, my grass is still not so dark green like my neighbor's. Why?

Hi all, I have uneven ground. My philipine grass already grown on it for 1 year plus.
Now I ordered half load of sands and want to even it.

What should it do? for those who did it before, please share experience.

Seems very difficult to pin point exactly where the holes as it covered by grass.
My neighbor said simply throw the sands scattered around And Spray with a lot of water. Is this correct way?
