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 |

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. Victoria Clare |
