Use This Secret Ingredient To Avoid A Soggy Lawn
By WILL FORD
Soggy lawns stem from poor drainage, compacted soil, and environmental factors like heavy rainfall. Gypsum offers a natural solution to combat these issues.
Gypsum improves soil structure, aiding water infiltration and drainage. Its calcium content promotes soil flocculation, enhancing root growth and balancing pH levels.
Be sure to assess the soil condition, choose the right gypsum product, and prepare the lawn by mowing and clearing debris. Spread gypsum evenly and water lightly to activate it.
Regularly monitor the lawn's condition post-application. Expect improved soil structure and reduced sogginess over time and repeat application as needed.
Gypsum may not fully address severe soil compaction issues alone. Conduct a soil test to assess pH balance before application.
