Due to the wet weather and downright drearyness[1] that its been on the
Isle of Man this year, my rear garden is looking very worse for wear and
Im wondering what and when can be done with it.

The grass is looking a bit sparse and yellowish, and there are lots of mud
clods (I guess done by worms) all over the place.

Do I just leave it until the spring, or is there somehting that I can
start now to get it back to its original healthy state.

[1] Its been soaking wet for a good 3 months now.


With a new build you never know what you might find under the grass. Our
front had obviously been used as the storage area for building materials and
dumping ground for waste so when we decided to make a deeper border we had
to sieve all of it to get rid of the glass, concrete, plastic and bricks and
incorporate the layer of sand into the rest of the soil. It had simply been
turfed over. All the sand makes that border free draining which is unusual
around here. (Thames silt/clay)
