2" of rain on 12 day old TTTF

Post by suffolk_lawn » October 12th, 2018, 8:27 am

My reno is at about the 2.5" mark and yesterday/last night we got almost 2" of rain. now its all laid over and has big wet oak leaves on it. What do I need to do? anything? luckily the weather looks sunny and dry for the next few days.

Once it has dried out enough to walk on it, mow/mulch those leaves to pinky-fingernail sized pieces into the lawn. Very gently rake any matted spots and let it recover on its own. If the oak leaves won't get sucked up by the mower (too wet?) then try gently using your back blower to unstick them and give them a few hours to sun to dry before mowing/mulching them.
