    Hi Iâ??m looking for the best advice, I have a fairly large lawn that was 75% infested with very spongy moss, about three weeks ago I decided to go at it with a petrol scarifier four days later and about a hundred bags of thatch and moss binned my lawn looked like a bald hay field, Iâ??m not to bothered with the bald patches as Iâ??m going to reseed in the necessary places what i am a little worried is that the grass that was beneath the moss is taking quite a while to green up, does any body have any advise on what I should do now to green it up and make it a little thicker before I begin to reseed and hollow tine in the autumn THANK YOU

    see my post on evergreen complete. I thought phosrogen was high potash - may be wrong here but it should say on the label.

    My packet of phostrogen is NPK = 14-10-27, which is quite a lot of Nitrogen, but also quite a lot of P and K too ... I think I would go for something that was pretty much all Nitrogen.

    Personally I wouldn't bother with a weed-and-feed product, like Evergreen complete, 'coz you've just pulled all the rubbish out, and you'll be paying for the killer part which won't be used. Plain lawn fertiliser would be my choice. Wait until rain is forecast and water it in if it doesn't rain within 24 hours
