hello :roll:
dh has recently bought a new mower-he was so enthusiastic with his qualcast that he's taken all the grass of my circular lawns! :shock:
we now have nice mud circles with the odd smattering of grass-it's a bit like an old man with a combover (no offence to those who wear their hair this way!) :lol:
i've been literally chucking seeds onto it and aireating, watering, removed thatch using a scarifier etc
what's the best way to improve it without starting from scratch-as it is looking hopeless!? :?
thanks jo

I lost a patch of my lawn with an over enthusiastic mower and it looked awful for a while, but it just grew back after a few weeks. I didn't do anything except avoid treading on the muddy bit. :?

that's really tricky as it really is most of the lawn :?
and we have to cross it to get to the potting shed!
maybe i need a pathway?
another job for dh :lol:
thank you
