Hello Jap

No - even the thirstiest plant doesn't drink much in the winter.

J By the way, I am not an accomplished garderner, but I think

Improve drainage is the only way, I'm afraid. Amount of effort is
directly proportional to the effect in this one. And even then, if
it's constant shade then grass will struggle.
