6-10 week old grass dying!!??

10 years ago

Problem: Over the past 1-2 weeks I have noticed grass that was starting to thrive stop growing and now closer inspection shows some blades are dying.

Method:

- The area has been destroyed by grubs. Dug up top 3-4 inches of soil, discarded any old turf.

- Mixed Scotts Lawn Soil into the top 1-2 inches. Planted seed and gently raked.

- Applied Scott's starter fertilizer with crabgrass preventer.

- Watered about every 4-6 hours using a timer and sprinkler. I have not decreased watering frequency because there are areas that I needed to reseed a couple times (seed didn't grow)

- The past 5-6 days have been insanely hot for Connecticut in May (90 degrees). In the spring time we received almost no rain, so I rely heavily on timed sprinklers.
