SUMMER. . .
approaches the soil heats up quickly, and the soil reactivity changes. Nutrients become less available as does water. Grass growth slows due to the soil becoming tight and compact. The roots begin to die back and grow towards the surface. The grass is stressed and can weaken nd die. The grass is now more susceptible to disease and insects. Heavy Mat & Thatch conditions develop, which become breeding grounds for insects and diseases due to the day-time heat and humid evenings. It is critical now to keep the grass healthy, to loosen the soil and to supply balanced nutrients to the soil. This builds natural immunity to diseases, insects and stimulates Mat & Thatch decomposition.
