scarified my extremely mossy back lawn on Saturday before mowing it.


Did I mention I did this on Saturday?

I was intending to weed & feed it today, but didn't get round to it. So
much to do at this time of year!


I have the box of pellets, and am now working out exactly when I
am allowed to use it.

Not within three days either side of mowing.
Not when the grass is moist.
Not when the soil is dry.
When rain is expected (otherwise have to water in)


Right you are, mine has similar conditions, so it's just as well I
didn't put it on yesterday. I should probably wait until after it next
rains. Shouldn't be too far away in April, but I think April was in
March this year

I can see that I will have to sneak up on it ;-)
