Lawns

I have been mysterious cut off from the site and no longer get the daily notifications. Hence my absence!

I have a rather big lawn with plenty of bumps and hollows,which I do not mind.

However 60 percent of it is moss. I have scattered two boxes of weed, feed and moss killer, which seems to be working. New grass is already coming up in the dead moss areas. I know I should now scarify the dead moss, but would that also remove the new grass? The next state presumably to aereate the lwn with a fork but I am not in good health and that might prove difficult.
I have heard about petrol powered scarifiers. Any good? too vicious? Expensive to hire - £36 aday.

Any comments or advice would be appreciated. Mike

 

Any advice please?

 

Could always try and nuke it. BnQ sell a really good lawn weed n feed for 7 pounds, works great on moss but your lawn mite be the size of a football pitch.....

Just dont buy a propogator oven while you are there

 

Sorry to divert the thread - I know I should put this somewhere else but, just gotta say "like the new avatar piccie Hydrogen86 - is it you?"

 

haha thanks Jenny. Thats my neice, Eva, she is only a couple of months old

 

Then welcome to Gardeners Corner Eva.

 

Thanks for replies. I have already used two boxes of feed, weed and moss killer. Worked well on the moss. Good news: my cousin has loaned me an electric scarifier. Hopefully the rain will stop and I can use it!

 

I think I have got my daily notifications back!! none today though.

 

Did that work Mike?
