Dried-out, yellow and damaged turf can cause many garden and allotment owners sleepless nights. We often wonder what the ideal solution for a dried-out lawn is. Unfortunately, it is often the case that once the soil has dried out, it absorbs water again with great difficulty. To combat the unfavourable phenomenon of excessive turf drying, which is particularly problematic during the summer months, Mr. Green Grass proposes the application of an extremely effective product, which is a Wetting Agent.
This is an innovative and specialist treatment that stimulates the penetration and storage of moisture in the soil. Wetting Agent ensures that water flows more evenly into the root zone. Thanks to this, the plant can better protect itself against high temperatures and periodic limited access to water. By creating a permanent water film around the substrate particles, Wetting Agent also ensures that water and air move uniformly and constantly between the roots. Plants obtain water more easily and have greater access to it. As a result, they become significantly more resistant to drought. The plants’ defence system is strengthened, and as a result, the turf’s resilience increases.
Product application and treatment timing
Wetting Agent application is generally carried out two or three times a year. It usually takes place in early and late spring and early summer. In this way, the product works throughout the time when the grass is exposed to excessive drying. This allows for a beautiful, uniform and lush green turf even during periods of drought and water shortage. In some cases, Wetting Agent can even ‘replace’ a lawn watering system. However, it should be remembered that this product only stores water and does not irrigate the lawn.
Specialists from Mr. Green Grass have extensive knowledge regarding the use of products that stimulate water penetration and storage in the soil.
