It appears that maybe Scott's Lawn Care was the previous owners choice,
Scott's left my lawn in about the same condition.

Stick with the extension service or local college. Some colleges have
excellent resources available to the homeowner.

Instructions depend on where you live -- procedures in Florida will vary
greatly from those in the Midwest --
The best thing you can do is go to your local extension service office and
get some of their brochures on lawn care and have a dialogue with an
extension agent or a Master Gardener (if there is one). If you have the
time, sign up to take the Master Gardener course; otherwise, watch for the
extension service to have a seminar on lawn care. -- Regards --

I've never had a garden before so am totally clueless but eager to
learn.

Basically, my lawn is in real bad shape - overrun with weeds, never
maintained. Though there does seem to be grass there someplace. My
question is can it be salvaged, or should i just till the lot? If i can
recover it, how do i go about doing it? I have just bought a lawnmower
so thats a start. When do i cut, water, aerate, fertilize, add lime,
etc??

Appreciate any help (Lawn care for dummies is on the way...).

Here's a pic if anyones interested
