Hi

I've just used a strimmer and then a mower to cut back a seriously overgrown
lawn in my new garden. The result is a lawn which is patchy yellow with what
looks like an underlying moss issue (when I reked it it tore up moss I
think). Is this a good time to out down some moss killer and fertiliser? if
not, what should I do?

Thanks

Forget the moss for the time being and mow regularly. It should green up
pretty quickly. Killing the moss is only temporary it will come back unless
you find out the causes of moss growth. Poor drainage and shading are the
favourites.

Quite possibly a drainage issue
