Hi all,

Any advice would be appriciated.

just keep mowing it regularly using a mulching
mower, have the height up so that the plants will
shade the ground.

when you removed the thatch you removed your
organic matter which would also hold moisture
and encourage other things to grow.

add some compost in layers once in a while.

before your fall/rainy season starts add some
plant seeds that you want to encourage to fill
in and some more compost. if it doesn't rain
enough keep it moist to get the plants started.

keep mowing at a decent height on a regular
basis.
