    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.

    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

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner Jenni. :) It's always difficult to get anything to grow in the shade of a tree and the roots will draw moisture and nutrients from the soil. The only way you can guarantee any growth there is to build a raised bed around it and put in plants that are happy in a shady area.

    Laying a new lawn on soil with rubble

    Seed will win every time, you can select the right seed mixture for your situation. Turf you get a limited choice, it's main advantage is obviously being much quicker.
