My Kikuyu lawn is very patchy and has lots of thatch. It was laid about 12 months ago, areas have always struggled with growth. But the patchiness seems to be getting worse. I have tried seasol spray and a fertiliser provided to me by the lawn retailer. The edges have never had issues and grow so quickly I’m having to mow weekly. The middle has almost no growth outside of a few dark green patches. It seems to just be producing a lot of thatch, I am beginning to suspect it might be grubs, but again large areas of this lawn have struggled for 6+ months. I have a dethatching rake and have been pulling up what I can, seems to have helped in parts but I don’t understand why it’s producing so much dead material to begin with. Any ideas?
