Colorful Garden Chat Picture Thread

We currently have a problem with our lawn, along the curbstones it is literally burning, I know it is hot outside and yes, I water it, yet the edges still get damaged..

It looks exactly the same for us. Also with a small green edge directly at the curb. We irrigate daily for about 20 minutes with an irrigation system from a well. It is actually exactly at the turning point of the sprinkler.

Do the sprinklers overlap? This is often done incorrectly.
20 minutes do not indicate the amount of rainfall.
What kind of sprinklers are they and what is the flow rate?
Daily watering is not so good. Rather less often and thoroughly, preferably in the early morning hours.

With us, the cockchafer grub plague is spreading rapidly. This year, the root-eating year, large areas of brown dead meadows can be seen. In the gardens, people can roll up their dead, brown lawns and underneath there are between 50 and 100 fat grubs per m2 and hundreds of tiny grubs. The big ones will fly out as cockchafers in May 2020 and multiply, and the tiny ones a year later. Females lay about a hundred eggs. No one really knows how this can be stopped.

Dig over and the birds should eat them off

I need to ask my mother, she had some in her raised bed. I think she spread potato halves. They attract the larvae and then are disposed of
Everything breaks down where the pests are

Are the sprinklers overwatering? This is often done incorrectly.
20 minutes says nothing about the amount of precipitation.
What kind of sprinklers are they with what flow rate?
Daily watering is not so good. Better less often and thoroughly, preferably in the early morning hours.

So for us, they are the Toro Mini-8 gear sprinklers (flow rate: 3-12.9 l/min). The irrigation pump sets the system at 3.5 bar. Overwatering occurs only in a few spots, but certainly not at the brown edges. These, as also in the picture, are (almost) right at the edge of the curb.
The system was planned and put into operation by a landscaping gardener.

She didn’t do the thing with the potatoes. It was too disgusting for her
Hoeing, they don’t like that,
picked off
the next day hoed again and picked off
and then limed

That only works in the garden. For the lawn maybe scarify and/or slit with the spade and then lime
