I try to take a lot of care with my lawns and weed & feed as the book
says. I always seem to end up with burned grass due to useless bloody
applicator machines.

A neighbour, who doesnt take any care of his lawns, called a company
called 'Greenthumb' in and they treated his lawn. Looks ten times
better than mine.

I called them in and they quoted £13 a time to weed & feed my 100m2
(total) lawns. They use a special pelleted feed which they say lasts
up to ten weeks. It is a bit like the Osmacote pellets.I would have
paid that much for materials.

A few weeks later I have a beautifully green weed free lawn that has
never looked so good.

I can recommend them to anyone. ps. I do not work for the company or
have any connection with anyone that does.

I must say I totally agree - we have now had four visits from them.
They have really turned round our two lawns. On the first visit I
told the guy that I was thinking of digging up our front lawn because
I could not see a blade of grass in all the dandelions and moss and
other weeds - he looked at it and said there was nothing that could
not be fixed!

A fantastic improvement to both lawns and I also thoroughly recommend.

(I have no relationship with them other than as a user).

As I posted before they turned up unexpectedly recently not long after
their scheduled visit. The reason being that it has rained heavily soon
after the last application so they came to re-do it, at no charge. I
worked out that buying the lawn feed was as expensive as having them in
to do it.

But it does not solve the problem, as to why you had moss in the first
place. As soon as you stop treating the lawn, the moss will be back.
