Hi,

Back in August when it was still wet, I sowed lawn seed in my front
garden,
covered the lot in 'fleece' and watered daily (if required).

After about 10 days, I replaced the 'fleece' with a netting (the
fleece and
netting was to prevent birds eating the seeds and foxes digging/doing
their
business).

After a short holiday, I returned to find the grass quite long (almost
like
a deep green luxury pile carpet) - I mowed it with the mower on its
highest
setting.

A week later, it was getting a bit untidy so I mowed it at the next
height
setting down.

Since then (about a month) it seems to be growing in patches - some
patches
are much longer than others whilst others seem to remain quite short.
The
shorter areas are also showing a bit of yellowing.

From a distance it still looks very nice but close up I am worried.
Perhaps
the second cut was a bit too short/close?

Any ideas of how to get the whole lawn growing at the same speed and
how to
stop the yellowing?

Thanks in advance,

Kroma

I think that you will find that the difference in grass texture is due
to the soil conditions. Do the yellow patches suffer from poor
drainage, soil compaction or both?
