I have taken your earlier advice. I was thinking that the end of October was
too late myself, I would probably do it if I was doing it by hand, but
machines tend to be a bit vicious. There is a lot of moss in some areas and
I think it would look like a field of mud over the Winter if it is scarified
now. It will need reseeding in areas, so April/May it is.

The problem with reseeding is matching up the type of grass in the lawn.
We could never do it so when we moved here we didn't bother to reseed.
You would be surprised how quickly, with a little lawn food, the bare
patches fill in

I would experiment if it was my lawn!

I couldn't have read your previous posts properly - I didn't realise it
wasn't your lawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
