The amount of childish name calling, swearing and sheer utter nonsense is quite laughable at times.
You don’t need to agree with peoples opinions or actions when related to their own lawn but for the love of all that is green, grow up. It’s a Reddit sub about lawns
Evening Folks,
New to lawn care here, never had a lawn in my old house but since I've moved I've now got a little obsessed with trying to fix the grass.
From my very very limited knowledge, the grass is battling with a lot of different types of weeds. From what I can see theres, a bit of clover, a LOT of moss, lots of typical garden weeds and the biggest pain in the ass is the creeping lawn weeds which seem to be everywhere.
I've tried to use some 4 in 1 weed and feed but unfortunately it hasn't killed much, killed a small amount of moss but that's about it. The rest is going strong.
I've raked out as much of the moss as I can but there's so much of it it's basically impossible to get out.
What exactly can I do to bring some life back to the grass and kill the nasties without digging it all up and starting again?
Unfortunately it was a new build (approx 2 years old now) and there's a lot of clay under patches of the grass which I need to sort.
Any advice would be welcomed :)
I want to grown a new lawn in this area but can’t afford turf to be put down. Seeding seems the cheapest option. Can anyone tell me how best to go about growing grass from seed. The existing soil is incredibly hard and compacted. Should I rotivate then buy new high grade top soil down then seed? What type of seed? My kids will be playing football etc on this grass
Any tips or help most welcome
Thanks ☺️
Ive tried getting rid of the moss using treatment and seed over and over.. this time I thought i'd try scarifying. Pretty sure its worse than it was. Any suggestions?
