New lawn

Nods the garden gnome · February 2016

last September we seeded a new lawn. We have a new house and 300mm of new,sandy, topsoil. Thespis was well prepared, weeded rota acted raked and levelled. The problem is that the lawn is growing very poorly Even taking into account it has been winter which in East Anglia has been extremely mild. There are lush patches but mostly it is shport and yellow and patchy. Suggestions to get a lush green lawn please.

Thanks that has given me confidence to feed in spring and wait and see the grass grow!

I had a similar situation to you expent we left the ground as bare dirt over winter and planted seed in spring. We feed and watered the lawn the first year and cut it as little as possible. The second spring we cut 3 times a week in the growing season and used weed and feed at the beginnig and end of the season.

Here's a picture of it the second year. Once we started feeding it, it greened up even more.

It'll improve when the soil temperature warms up. I'm in East Anglia, and although it's not been cold, our lawn hasn't really been growing. We've not cut it since October.

Don't panic
