When parts of a lawn are yellow, it is due either to poor soil, low in nutrients, or wet spots.

If drainage is okay, then it needs feeding. A lawn should get a base fertilizer such as 7-6-17 or 10-10-20, at 80 -100 grams per square metre before sowing to even out the levels of nutrition in the soil.

if this was not applied, 30 grams per square metre can be applied in spring each year for three years. The lawn should also get high-nitrogen spring lawn feed at least twice between April and August.
