Lawn Problems

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could please help me?  I don't really have "green fingers" and am looking for some advice regarding my lawn.  Over the last few years the lawn has been great.  Lovely green grass, but this spring large patches of the lawn have died off and the condition of the rest of the lawn isn't great.  I live on the top of a cliff and this winter has been particularly bad for sea winds so I was wondering if this has something to do with it.  I usually treat the lawn with Evergreen Complete 4 in 1, twice a year, but haven't put anything on this year.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to what has caused this and how I would go about getting the grass back.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Regards,

Stuart.

    You need to scarify the whole lawn to take out the dead stuff and then reseed the whole thing. It could have died off for any number of reasons but you will have to start again, you won't save anything there.

    I'm wondering whether you had a lot of salt spray in the winds - certainly a problem around the East Anglian coast.

    Hi, thanks for your replies and advice.  Yea, it was a bad winter for wind, which would have resulted in a lot of salt spray.  It wasn't too cold though.  When would be a good time to reseed do you think?
