    What's happened to my lawn?

    This is just worms. I would advise spraying some verdon on the small muddy bits as they are prone for growing weeks in them

    Aerating a lawn

    I have an electric scarifier and only used it once in the six or seven years I've owned it. I don't even know if it still works, time to find out I think.

    First grass cut: cut 3/4 of length rather than 1/4 of length :(

    Leave alone and keep off it , no feed its too early in the season you will do more harm than good It will soon bounce back

    Badger damage on my lawn

    Are they digging up chafer grubs? If so, get rid of those grubs and the badgers will lose interest.
