Autumn/winter feed now.

early March spring feed/mosskiller and then 2 weeks later scarify out the dead moss.

Cats poohing probably due to not finding a nice border for a litter tray.

I wouldn't say much is required at the moment, other than keeping it tidy and a bit of light mowing if needed

Why is that ? Is moss such aggressive to be harmfull for lawn.
In my country (Milan countryside, Italy) moss does not seem to be too aggressive... Probably because, due to the climate of the region, moss is not widespread over here. (although it does exist).
Is that the case ?
Over here, much more aggressive seem to be weed...
But those start growing in late spring, if I am not wrong...

I think we have problems with moss in our lawns on the whole here because it is a much damper climate, our lawns are often shaded & of course we do not have your sunshine...

That's for sure...
Due to the different latitude, in England more tilted sunrays generates longer shadows... (but less head-aches because of sunrays straight over the heads as it occurres to we the italians...)
