With the Hot weather we have this summer, would it be advisable to scarify an established lawn that has been 'Burnt' in Autumn?.
Thanks all.
Secondly can any one recommend a grass suitable for Dry and shady area?.
Thank you.

    Hi Leonard. I think if your lawn hasn't recovered well enough yet, it may not be a good idea to scarify too heavily just now.  Is there any green growth showing? 
    I expect you could do it lightly, especially if you have some decent rain in your forecast. It would be easier to make a judgement if you had a photo of the area.  :)
    Grass is very resilient, so it should come away again once you get some good rainfall.

    I don't use anything specific for the shady areas of grass I have. Most G. Centres and diy stores have ranges of all sorts of seed. I've got one of those cheapo shops [HOme Bargains] not far away, and I've used seed from there. Seems good enough. It's alwasy harder to getgrass growing well in shade though. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
