Default lawn topdressing

Hello,

The best time to topdress is Autumn and on a dry day so that the
topsoil is easy to spread. Around 1 to 3kg per square metre should be
more than enough, putting the heavier amount in the dipps. Then apply
a layer of seed and lightly rake the seed into the topsoil, the seed
should germinate before the winter and will produce a thicker lawn the
following season.
