Question
Grass roots 1
Hello Mr. Persaud.
I am a new home owner and I am trying to reclaim my lawn. I have very weak grass on my rear lawn. It is very thin and sparse, with multiple brown spots.
I have noticed that some of my grass roots are visible on TOP of the lawn as if I need to add dirt to the lawn, or the ground is too hard for them to get under the soil.
The roots look light brown as in the photo attached, but the grass sprouting out of them is still green.
What steps should I take to improve the thickness of my lawn and get my roots under the soil where I think they belong.
Thank you for your reply.
Answer That is how Bahia looks. I'd say to water it weekly (if you are allowed) and mow it at the highest cut that your lawn mower will allow. After the third mowing, cut back on the irrigation.
If the roots really hurt your eyes, you can apply topsoil in light layers until they are covered but it will be a matter of time until they show up again.
