Hi guys,
I have laid some new turf in the back garden. It went so well we did the front garden as well
Of course now we are having our summer, lovely and sunny for us but not great for new turf.
I am watering loads. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. I have pulled a few corners up and the turf is rooting down.
But it seems to have shrinked a little, some of the turf pieces are not touching now
Should I just leave it or should I do something, ie fill the holes with sharp sand or something ?
Also I cut the back lawn for the first time today. Left the mower high and barely cut the grass. But I did notice that the lawn has a few bumps and dips. Nothing too serious but noticeable.
Should I leave them ? I was going to leave the bumps etc until the end of summer and then add a top dressing of some kind and leave that over the autumn / winter/ spring to sort itself out. Is this best or can I deal with it now ?
Is it worth getting a roller ?
Thanks guys.
