Managing Thatch in Lawns. Thatch is a loose, intermingled organic layer of dead and living shoots, stems, and roots that develops between the zone of green vegetation and the soil surface. Thatch build up begins when turf produces organic debris faster than it can be broken down.
It lies on top of the soil, a tightly woven layer beneath the visible grass blades. As long as it doesnât get thicker than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, thatch actually contributes to lawn health in these ways: Mulching soil and slowing water loss. Cushioning soil and decreasing compaction.
