X-Post - Help, i've killed my lawn..

Hi

Last year like an idiot i sprayed the weeds with weed killer and also murdered sections of the lawn.

There are probable 10 patches of dead grass, now do i seed or can i buy some nice turf and cut out the sections and install new turf?

Many thanks..

Steve.

 

You should have used a selective turf weedkiller like verdone.

Scratch up the areas with a rake, then overseed. Stick a mix in a few handfulls of compost in with the seed so as to help it stick.

 

Thanks very much for the advice..

 

My father in law wanted to use general purpose weedkiller on the area around the bottom of the garden by the fence. He mixed it in a watering can at the outside tap (top of garden)then walked across the lawn to the back fence. He never thought to see if the watering can was leaking, which it was! A few months later the effect was, to say the least, artistic
