Thanks ARMANDII, good question. My reasoning was purely to give the new seed the best chance possible to get established over winter. Also, it...
I overseeded the lawn about two weeks ago and would normally apply an autumn feed about now to get the roots going through the winter.This year...
Interesting. That was not what I did! I got a sheet of A4 and fed it in between the blades and cutting bar. Rotating the blades just pulled the...
Hi Graham, thanks, I will check that out.
Hi Graham, thanks for your reply. lawn is a bit bumpy (tree roots) but I have smoothed out some of the larger dips and bumps and slowly working on...
Lawn is a bog standard mix of grasses that I have been trying to improve over the last two years with overseeding, top dressing, fertiliser etc....
Thanks mate. No treatments yet as I have seeded some large areas that overseeding wasn't totally successful on last autumn. Waiting for that to...
I had a good covering of green lawn last year despite most of the grass being a bit rubbish (white "flowers" on it, tall thick stems that don't...
I have been quite exasperated with my seeding too. Despite the sack saying "quick.." it was about 15 days before I saw anything. Large areas of...

I have several large light green patches in my lawn that appears to be a different grass. It grows slower than the rest and looks unsightly....
Thanks. That is where I got my bulk bag last autumn. I just need a few bags for lawn repair trhis spring and the minimum that they sell is 20...
I'm in High Wycombe and certainly wasn't planning any lawn work until March, but the grass was getting so long and we had about a week of dry days...
Interesting. Moved in here in late summer 2018 and the lawn appeared very neglected. I didn't do anything to it until spring last year and it has...
Thanks ArmandII. That's interesting. I gave it a winter feed after overseeding etc last autumn, which was obviously to get the roots going well....
I was being a bit flippant with the "bowling green" comment! I guess I mean that I aspire to having the best lawn I can. It has to deal with a...
I would like a bowling green of course, and with some years of tlc I may be able to get a little closer to that ideal. The bottom line on that is...
