Yet another brown patchy lawn,

Hi all,
I’m aware there are a few threads about brown patchy lawns, and here is ours. We would be grateful of any advice to keep our lawn from dying back and reverting to the mossy scrub it was before.
I’m hoping that this is natural die back after laying new turf. We laid it mid April. We have watered morning and evening and left off mowing til 3 weeks ago when growth reached around 10 cm. that was in the highest setting. Since the rains have been plentiful of late I’ve not watered for fear of over watering.

should we water more? Feed? Not mow it again? Sadly I’m a novice at lawn care.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your advice.

I think you should just carry on as you are ... no need to feed ... mow once a week on a medium setting and stand well back ... it's going to look fabulous

Fabulous news. Thanks DoveFromAbove I did suspect I may be being a bit of a worry wart over it. We'll carry on as we have and see how we go.
