What about you! This is Robbie from Premier Lawns. Just a quick shout out to Ben Simms fro Lawn Tips a You Tuber
in Australia. He sent me this hat - thanks very much Ben.
Today's video is a real quick video about red thread, in the lawn. I hadn't intend to make
this video this week but we were out treating lawns today, and I seen red
thread in an awful lot of lawns and it's actually in my own lawn here - so I thought I'd do a real quick video.
It's a naturally occurring lawn disease. We tend to get it more in more in July and August, but because
it's been so warm and now we're getting a lot of wet weather, the lot, hot humid weather
really brings on the red thread.
we'll just take a walk over here and I'll show you some red thread.
There's just very small tinges there don't know whether or not the GoPro picks it up
You can see tips are red,
So the best thing to treat it is a good nitrogen feed, and you can use some
seaweed and some iron as well, which is very good.
if you have red thread in your lawn and your lawns been treated it will go away
itself I'll not do your grass any harm although you'll have some brown blemishes on
your lawn for a period of time. if you haven't had your lawn treated then treat
it with some nitrogen, a bit of seaweed, some iron and the problem will sort itself out.
What about chemical control? There are fungicides on the market that
you can use to treat red thread, but they're professional based products only and
they're also very expensive. Even if you use them, there's no guarantee that the
red thread won't be back in four to six weeks if the weather conditions allow for it.
I post regular advice and lawn care tips on how to bring your lawn to the next level.
