Dr. Russell Sharp breaks down how extreme heat affects lawns, weeds and potted plants, covering drought survival, pests, and which grass types handle high temperatures best.

He shares practical mitigation tips—mulching, pot-in-pot systems, potassium and silicon nutrition, seaweed for recovery—and warns against applying products during peak heat. Simple, actionable advice for keeping turf and gardens resilient in a heatwave.

Dr. Russell Sharp explains the history of slug control, why traditional metaldehyde was banned, and how Eutrema developed a chelated ferric phosphate gel called Slugger as a safer alternative.

He reveals a new, simple use: painting a thin, long‑lasting barrier around pots and raised beds to deter slugs and snails. Slugger is pet‑friendly, provides iron nutrition, works well on terracotta, and can protect containerised plants for weeks.

Dr. Russell Sharp of Eutrema walks through the top 10 reasons lawns and sports turf turn yellow (chlorosis), explaining the science behind the symptom and showing how common issues — drought, nutrient deficiency, compaction, scalping, blunt mower blades, fungal disease, pests, pH imbalance, pet urine, and competition from trees/weeds/moss — produce yellowing.

The episode gives straightforward, practical fixes: deep infrequent watering, correct nitrogen and iron treatments, liquid gypsum for compaction and urine damage, sharpen blades, pest control, pH adjustment, and targeted fungicide or wetting-agent solutions.
