For those of you that use a mixture of white glue and water when
attaching turf and ground cover, what ratio of water and glue do you
use? I want to spray "wet water" on the ground cover and follow that
with the glue and water mixture. <snip> I'll appreciate any
suggestions.

Ed D...I would imagine you will get dozens of messages telling of
someone's favorite way of attaching turf and ground cover. Since I
wouldn't want to be left out of the crowd, here is my technique for
quickly covering large areas with basic ground cover: Using a
somewhat wide brush, apply a coat of white glue that is thinned maybe
50-50 with water. If that is too thin for your taste, add glue. If
too thick, add water. The actual proportions can vary quite a bit
and still work. So your personal preference can be used here. Then
sprinkle the ground cover or turf or whatever over the painted-on
glue/water mixture. Then mist (or fine spray) plain old water over
the whole shebang. Make that over the whole enchilada if you live
south of the border. The water will soak into the turf to some
extent and will serve to "draw up" the glue mixture into/onto the
turf and hold everything firm. Nothing is disturbed and there is no
glue glaze afterwards. Give it a full day or two to dry before adding
details such as weeds, bushes, trees, etc. I do not use "wet water"
which, if I understand correctly, is water with a few drops of
detergent added. I don't think it would hurt anything, but I have
not seen the need. Have fun...Ed L.
