As with many of the postings I've seen, I'm new to this organic lawn care method. I'm a recovering Scotts addict. Earlier this spring I put down some Scotts fertilizer, but was disappointed in the results. It looks as if I have HEAVY thatch.
From reading this forum, I determined corn gluten meal would be a good way to go. So, I got some and put it down. So far, a good portion of the lawn looks a million times better. I also significantly backed off of the waterings and am doing a 'deeper' watering.
So, my question is, I still have a TON of thatch in many spots on the lawn. Again, from reading here, I see that the microbes that should be in my lawn are probably not there to eat up the thatch like they should be. Is there any way to get them to return? I'm afraid that if I don't lessen the thatch by summer, the 100 degree days are going to dry up portions of the lawn pretty quickly.
Thanks in advance for any help!
