I've just put nitrogen on my grass as instructed on the label, it has now gone yellow - can I save it?
My lawn was sown a year ago and I applied fertilizer (agricultural - due to size of lawn) in late April/early May. It was nice and green but now the fertilizer is gone and there are alot of white patches - the soil/drainage is not great. I was in to the garden centre and they reckon it is too late for another dose of agricultural fertilizer and only other suggestion was standard lawn feed. I was under the impression there was a specific Autumn lawn feed which I could apply know to strengthen the grass before the winter months and bring back the greenness. Any recommendations on that front?
What would you recommend for my lawn which is hungry and also needs greening up?
Can you please advise if the spreading of cold ashes from a coal/briquette fire has any benefit good/bad on my lawn?
I have a decent sized back garden which is mainly grass, it is quiet uneven and there if it was taken up, I am sure we would find a lot of builders rubble underneath. As a result, the drainage is quiet bad in parts and the surface is quiet uneven. Just to add to the situation we have 2 dogs! Anyway! it has a lot of weeds and a good few bare and muddy patches due to th draginage problem. Is there a quick fix to improve the quality of grass until we have money to relay the lawn next summer? Would you be able to reccommend a good seed and feed that I could use if this would help. I tried doing this last year but did not make much difference.
My lawn was sown a year and a half ago and was lovely and rich green in colour last spring but as summer and autumn came so did yellow patches. I have an acre of lawn and yellow patches are quiet noticeable but grass is still very much alive. With spring coming what fertiliser or feed can I use to treat lawn to bring back healthy green lush grass.
