I'd wait until the lawn is actively growing, which will be sometime from mid
March onwards depending where you are in the country and what the weather conditions are - if we have a cold spring it will be later as grass won't grow much if the temperature is below about 60F. As for what to use, it depends on what you want to achieve. Lawn treatments may contain a fertiliser along with selective weedkillers and/or moss killer. You will almost certainly need the fertiliser but whether or not you need the others depends on the state of your lawn. Also, most of the common brands these days contain all three types of ingredient. If you don't need all three, this is rather wasteful! You need to decide what you need and then shop around for something which meets your requirements. The spreader should be available from any garden centre and also from DIY stores like B&Q or Focus. -- Neil Visit my Peak District walking website - www.peakwalking.co.uk "David Cleland" wrote in message ...
