I have a big problem with my lawn,i would welcome advice on how to resolve it.what is the best way to go about it, should i kill off the remaining grass,or rotovate the whole lawn and start again with seed or turf.this winter has had so much moss in it which i have removed,now the lawn has gone past patch seeding i feel.I would like to start again but not sure what would be the best way,hope someone can help me.
I found this video a couple of months ago and now my lawn is on its way to being perfect. I don't have a large lawn so I used a rake and fork to replace the machines. It takes hard work (a good raking 3 times, fork once) but it will give you the results you are after. Advise for new gardener like me.....a normal B & Q feed & weed will do for the fertiliser and All-Purpose Compost will work for the top dressing he mentions. The seed doesn't have to be special either, I used B & Q value boxs. Give it a couple of months and maybe some more seeding of patches and the lawn will look great.
P.s. The top dressing acts as protection for the seeds. With it they are more likely to germinate. Therefore SPRINKLE it over the patches you put the seeds.
I live in Germany and can't get a machine to make the holes like the one in the video ,and at 500sq m. I tried doing it by hand no chance so I'm stuck with a rubbish lawn.
Grass seed was sown to a new lawn in September however the grass is patchy and slow growing, even taking account of the season. In some areas the grass is lush and about 6 inches high in others it is barely and inch tall. Some leaves are also yellowing. What has gone wrong and how can i get the new lawn growing as it should? It is about a quarter of an acre in total.

This is a free site - what do you think pays for it?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've no really noticed the adverts. I for one love this site well planed out and easy to walk around.
