How to Check for Thatch

 Are you worried about having a thatch problem? Checking the thickness of your lawn’s thatch layer is quite easy; all you need is a trowel and a ruler (if you want to be precise). Here’s how to check for thatch:

  1. Cut out a small plug of grass about 2 inches deep with a trowel or another garden tool.
  2. Look at the plug. You should see the grass, the soil, and a spongy layer of thatch in between them.
  3. Press down on the thatch and measure it. If it’s more than ½ of an inch thick, then you have too much thatch.
  4. Repeat with a few more plugs around different parts of your lawn to check if it’s a problem across your whole yard.
