I may have murdered my lawn..
hi
I've recently moved into a new house with a garden, which is a first for me. The lawn was in bad shape, mossy, bald patches, uneven growth, ( a bit like me actually). I was advised to use a lawn feed which would nourish and revitalise whilst killing off the weeds. I think I may have sprinkled out too much because the grass first turned black and is now turning white. The lawn is now covered in black and white and green stripes due to my uneven sprinkling. Half of the lawn stays in permanent shade and this half looks the worst. Will the lawn recover from this and how can I help it My first attempt at 'gardening'.......... thanks for any help homer |

Did you stick to the recommended dosage? Franz |

Just water it and mow what tufts there are on a high cut when it gets too long and by the end of the summer you will have some grass again!!!!!!!!! Then try top dressing it this coming autumn and next spring you should be back to square one )) -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster.
