Problem lawn
I have a tiny 10ft by 10ft lawn in a garden which is theoretically south
facing but which in winter gets no sun at all because of being very near the house. This little lawn therefore is not much good for growing grass but grows some fine goldeny moss I don't want concrete or gravel but is there some other solution? Thanks Peter |

Thanks Peter You can you a moss killer such as iron sulphate, but unless you improve the drainage, moss will return within a few weeks. Drainage can be improved by raking out moss and dead grass regularly, and then using a fork to "spike" holes in the turf. Or you can take the easy option and get used to looking at a mossy lawn - if we ever get another hot dry summer, the moss can be the only green colour in a lawn. Bevan |

Thanks Peter Just grow anything but grass - a bit of imagination is called for but you could end up with something much more rewarding than a miserable little lawn. Rod |
