The patch will probably want feeding: nitrogen in a balanced lawn fertilizer will help the grass to compete with the mosses. Otherwise, no problem with the appropriate seed blend, and as long as you don't cut too short -- a very short cut doesn't leave the grasses with enough leaf to grow strongly. I'd use the grass-box on the mower, too, so that plenty of light and air can get in. Mike. |
