I'm afraid this forum is plagued by spammers @MrMow, and the moderators rely on forum members to flag it up. If you're genuine, there isn't any problem, but your 1st post had the hallmarks. If you read my post, you'll also see that there was nothing aggressive or rude there - I was merely putting some musings out there. The emoji should have made that clear too
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
And their you go again, if I am Genuine, where have I posted any spam or linked to any site or companies, I just gave honest advice and if you new anything on turf you should have known that but just called me a spammer after just joining .
What a great welcome to the Forum @Fairygale. Nothing to do with that I have over 30 years of turf knowledge to help and pass on, but ill leave it to you as no doubt your an expert on anything.
And Fairygirl knows nothing hows that makes it ok then
Hi, @Fairygirl, I am patiently awaiting the right time to purchase/apply Nematodes although, I confess I know little about them, but it seems they may be my only hope to get rid of my problem (everything crossed)
At my last house we had a real problem with chafers and leatherjackets. You can buy a combined nematode package (I won't provide a link for fear of the spam police). We found them very effective but it was a relatively small lawn at 100sqm. The Spring application is considered questionable as to it's effectiveness due to the stage in the grubs life cycle I believe. Around September is the time to hit them when the larvae are in their formative stage and easier to attack. It will also get them before they do the damage to the roots. Application does take a little bit of 'care'. You want the soil to be soft and moist, you need to wash them in if rainfall is not imminent and you need to keep the lawn in this state for a couple of weeks or the nematodes will perish.
Touch-wood at the new place we don't appear to have the problem, certainly not to the same degree. Fortunate really as we have a lawn three times as large and that would be getting quite expensive.
There are several suppliers of nematodes @Meomye and a quick Google will bring them up. I'm happy to provide a link to the one l use, if you like. (I use the ones for dealing with vine weevils in pots, my OH for chafer grubs in the front lawn) As @Dave Humby says, it's all in the timing, sometimes it feels like you have only a 15 minute window where it all comes together
Another point I should have raised was to consider the soil type that the Turf is grown on. it needs to semi match what you have,You do not want a drastic change.
