A new buffalo lawn was installed in July 2023
The lawn appears to be growing very well in August
After applying two bottles of Seasol Lawn & Turf Starter and mowing, some areas of the lawn have turned brown or yellow and died, as shown in the following picture(Today, September 2023).
Some details
I'm not sure if the brown patches on my lawn are caused by fungus or lack of water.
I water once a week for 20 minutes.
The soil on top feels a bit hard, but the soil moisture is at a good level of 50-80% when measured with a soil moisture meter.
As a beginner, I didn't realize that using Nuway topsoil as the base soil for my lawn could be a mistake (This soil appears to be a pale yellow-brown color, rather than the dark black color that is indicative of nutrient-rich soil.). If this is the case?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You could use Scotts Lawn Builder 1.3kg Seed & Feed Sun & Shade Lawn Seed for patching, but if you want buffalo grass you'll have to use a turf roll.
If you need further assistance, please let me know.
