Hi,

I have a lawn that is North facing and gets no sun during the winter months. Its very damp and and I even get the odd mushroom growing. The grass gets very patchy and thin during these months and I usualy have to re-seed parts of it during April / May to ensure a good lawn for the new season.

Is there anything I can do to help stop this happening.

Silly-nilly. Cut the lawn into sod units. Turn them all 180 degrees. Now
all faces south.

More profound is we made it to the top of the food
chain per our reasoning abilities.
Most profound is the denial of why we may
be on the way out.

Is it your front lawn?

The lawn is the back one.

You will need to move your house or at the least, arrange a bunch of
mirrors to bend the sun around the house so that it will hit the grass.
Good luck!

There was me thinking this was a gardening help forum not a place for childish jokes.

I'm off to join another forum that can offer sensible advice.

You could consider planting ground covers such as myrtle, pachysandra,
english ivy etc, instead of grass.

When you re-seed, make sure you use "shady area" seed. Make sure you use a
"fall" fertilizer in the fall, the most important time to fertilize.

Or, was it yet another whine, trying to get attention. "I'm gonna take my
ball and go home." Boo-****ing-hoo. Well, do it then. Go someplace else
with your childish whines, and get the same advice you got here.

And, get a cloo. This isn't a ****ing "forum", dumbass.

The lawn, according to you, 'gets no sun during the winter
months'. If it gets *no* sun, grass won't grow. Plant something else, that
doesn't *require* sunlight. That's the most sensible advice you've
received. Take it, or reseed every April.

I replied with sensible advice, now it's time for a sensible question.

What the hell is wrong with you, Astraman?
