    Thanks, Spruce; shiney and cl1 were telling me a few days ago lawns needed top dressing but that wasn't specifically in relation to the mess that I have out there right now.

      No point in top dressing whilst it's too soggy. Wait for it to dry out a bit.

      I mowed a couple of weeks ago which went OK apart from all the squigged wormcasts.

      I don't top dress mine as there's too much weed and moss and it would be too much work. As long as it looks green it's good enough for me. I don't use chemicals to get rid of the baddies as there is too much delicate wildlife growing in the grass (bee orchids, cowslips etc).
