Discussion: My tall fescue in Fort Lee gets absolutely torched every July - will a 1/4 inch compost layer actually help with heat stress or am I wasting my money? (Context: Concerned homeowner dealing with consistent summer die-off and skeptical that organic top dressing will make any difference.)

Does anyone have experience with My tall fescue in Fort Lee gets absolutely torched every July - will a 1/4 inch compost layer actually help with heat stress or am I wasting my money? (Context: Concerned homeowner dealing with consistent summer die-off and skeptical that organic top dressing will make any difference.)? Looking for advice from Bergen County folks.

I've dealt with this before. Really depends on your specific setup and grass type.
