Thank Sally, your explanation explains everything. Let me explain. 
I have lawn areas that were purposely laid on sand with very little top soil and I have areas where this has occurred when the developer created a home from a farm yard.
I did use nitrogen granuals of about half the strength the farmers use but it was still 15-7-7. Or something along those lines. It was very easy to scorch the grass though with 6X I can put on as much as I like, the two/three application I did last year are just about running low and after all that rain I'm not surprised.
Even we had to buy a petrol engine water pump, just to keep the rainwater out of our septic tank.
