grass against a north facing wall
 

We had some turf laid in the garden of our new build about 6 months ago.
Most of it has taken well. However, for about a 3 feet in width along
the length of a north facing wall that we border, the grass is very
thin. When its cut, there is quite a bit of mud, and the grass that is
there is patchy. I would like to sow some additional seed to try and
bolset the turf. What type of grass seed should I go for, and any tips
on sowing ?? (when to do it, quantities, watering etc etc)

Sounds like a drainage problem or lack of enough air.

Or simply the effect of shade, perhaps. The garden centre or DIY shed
will have grass seed blends designed for shade, and there should be
good instructions on the packet.
