bald lawn
 

Hi there,

In August I moved into a new house, the garden was well used, a big dog and
4 young children had taken it's toll. I thought it was best just to leave it
for the winter and let it rejuvenate, this has worked to an extent the grass
is now nice and thick and green rather than bald and brown, however round
the boarder of the grass next to the fence it's still bald.

Are there any products that I can use now in the winter to help give the
grass some like?
Many thanks

Kevin

Think you'd be better leaving it till the spring. The grass won't be doing
much active growing now, so anything you add won't do a lot of good, and
will probably have washed away by the time it starts into life again.

You may well find that the bald bits that are left will come springing back
in April anyway. If it were me, I'd give it a gentle mow with the mower set
high next spring, and sprinkle some extra grass seed on any extra-bald
areas.
