🌱 If your grass is looking a lot like mine, which can only be described as a post-apocalyptic desert scene, you might be thinking this is now the end of your lawn. It’s not!
What’s going on underneath the soil is actually quite interesting. The grass on top has completely died, gone brown and gone to a crisp. But underneath, the roots have actually gone dormant. The grass dies to create a layer of protection for the roots from further drought, and the roots will remain dormant until there is more moisture in the soil.
So, hopefully, we’ll get some rain 🤞 or the hosepipe ban will be lifted, allowing us to get some moisture back into the soil and rehydrate the lawn. New grass can then grow from those roots.
So, you can leave your lawn looking the way it does. Although it’s unsightly, it’s perfectly fine!
When it gets to the point where you can water your lawn, it should start looking lovely and green once again.
But for now, there’s no need to panic! 🌱
