Hi brain trust, my kikuyu lawn is a bit off balance and I was wondering I I can top soil it now?. Located in Melb.I’ve got around 2 cubic meters of dirt. What should I add to it to make it into top soil?by TheNextOutbreak Gardening Australia 7 Comments SandmanAwaits 2 weeks ago I think it is, I was going to say unless you’re in Qld because of the weather but just saw you’re in Melb.I’d wait until Spring when it warms up a bit. BuzzKillingtonThe5th 2 weeks ago Wait until spring. Even Qld it would be starting to slow down in growing. Unless you are further north I would wait. skeezix_ofcourse 2 weeks ago Top dress?Depends… what “Dirt” have you got, is it just a sandy loam?I’d top dress with half of what you have & do the other half in July. bill0ddi3 2 weeks ago It’s way too late to top dress. Wait until mid-Spring at least, depending on the warmth of the season. SoupRemarkable4512 2 weeks ago It’s Kik so you can do it now but it’ll look terrible until late spring. I’d wait until then.
