Lawn Problems
Question:
Many grass-free spaces started to appear sporadically. Is there anything I could do to save it? Is there a certain fertilizer I could use or chemicals? N.B. My 10 years old son plays football on the grass. Is this the reason?
Answer:
There is a good chance that your son playing football is causing bald spots on your lawn. We have had a particularly dry spring which means that the grass may not be getting chance to recover once damaged by the football games. Now we have had a spell of rain the lawn may well recover. If you have not had rain recently, and your area does not have a hose-pipe ban, try using a sprinkler. If the patches are really bad, and do not recover after watering, then you may need to re-seed. I have attached a link to my webpage with instructions. http://gardeningregister.co.uk/NonProductPages/Articles/Lawns/lawns_producefromseed.htm
