Moved in to present house 3 years ago and have used one generous dose of
Growmore late Spring each year. I treat weeds more or less individually
with selective weedkiller by spray. The lawn has gone from strength to
strength.. Regular mowing, annual scarification and spiking have worked
wonders. Growmore is dirt cheap in comparison with lawn specific
treatments. Just make sure you water it in well if application not soon
followed by rain.

I'll second that recommendation. The specific Lawn Feed & Weed stuff is very
expensive but Growmore can be bought in large sacks, is relatively cheap,
and does the job of greening the lawn well, doesn't weed though.
You can also buy some Seaweed Extract or Meal to put on your lawn which
provides a lot of the minerals it need, again, buy in bulk from somewhere
like N A Kays.
