In this episode of Grass Me Up the host explains how extreme early heatwaves affect lawns, why plants use so much water (mainly for gas exchange), and which grass species are most vulnerable.

He covers timelines for dormancy and death in different soils, common issues like fairy rings and fertiliser scorch, and why roots may keep growing even when the surface looks dead.

Practical tips include avoiding fertilising baked soil, using a wetting agent before heavy rain, applying seaweed extract after rain to speed recovery, and considering silica treatments to improve future heat resilience.
