Lawn Renovation After 5 Weeks – Overseeding Thin Patches, Starter Fertiliser & Weed Control with Meso
About 5 weeks ago I completely renovated my lawns. I got the first cut on it tonight and it looks great. The seed has taken well and a lot of it has filled in and thickened up.
I just have a few areas that are a bit thin, and a few small weeds starting to come through.
I was thinking I do an overseed in the thin areas, second application of starter granular fert and a meso spray (should act as a post emergent for the lawn and a pre emergent for the new seed?). Is this the best way to go, and will this get rid of the weeds? It looks like clover and not sure on the other.
Not sure what caused some areas to grow better than others, it looks like the slightly shaded and less watered areas went better.
Appreciate any advice.
I’d just hand pull those weeds for now.
I’d also look at pre-germinating some seed to fill in the thinner areas. You’d be surprised how much the lawn will thicken up with regular mowing alone.
Once you’ve got the pre-germinated seed down and the new grass has had a couple of mows, you could look at applying Meso if you’re still having issues with weed pressure.
But judging by the odd weed here and there, I’d just hand pull them for now. Regular mowing will also help keep them under control by removing the tops and preventing some from going to seed.
