Is Thatch Harming Your Lawn? A Simple Guide To Manage It

If your lawn feels spongy or looks patchy, thatch might be the reason. Thatch is a layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that builds up between the soil and your living grass. A little thatch can help protect your lawn, but too much can stop water, air, and nutrients from getting through. This can lead to dry spots, weak grass, and even pests. To manage it, check your lawn by pressing your hand down or using a small tool to measure the thickness. If it is over half an inch thick, it might be time to dethatch. Regular mowing, proper watering, and yearly aeration can also help. Understanding thatch helps you keep your lawn healthy, green, and looking its best.

What you do on the weekend could be ruining your sleep, experts reveal

Everyday Australians living with a newly-identified sleep health concern could have no idea they're suffering from it. Research from Flinders University has revealed that the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a common condition caused by repeated airway collapse during sleep, increases significantly on weekends.
