I would try to just grow it out with a good organic feed then. That will be harmless to the puppy. An application of liquid seaweed would also...
Yes, that's based on trifloxystrobin, but there is a lot of resistance to it from the disease, so may not be as effective as you might think.
Yes, certainly looks like a fungal infection. Might be Red Thread, but the pics aren't really close enough to identify accurately as there are a...
Well, it's not a traditional vascular plant, it's more like a lichen. No weedkillers will touch it. It thrives on poor, shady areas, usually on...
My first thought is that it's a fungal disease, but some close up pics will help to confirm it.
A total stab in the dark here, but it sounds like it might be a Liverwort:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchantiophyta...
A picture would make it a lot easier.
Hi Harry, Have you got more photos of how it is now ... overall and close up would be ideal and I'll try to help. Kris
Monty don is sorting his lawn out on this weeks Gardeners World by aerating and brushing in Sharp Sand ... Must be a mind reader!
You certainly won't need to fertilise it for at least 6 months. And unless it thins massively, you won't need to seed it either.
Aeration helps get moisture and gasses get down to the roots of the grass, helping to strengthen it tremendously, building a thick and healthy...
As I said above, you need to get it properly aerated, brush in a layer of sharp sand and leave it over the winter. You've got a full coverage of...
Had a look.The blobs you are describing look like worm casts. They are a good thing. Just brush them out on a dry day.The rest of my advice...
It's nothing to do with the mushrooms, and it's probably nothing to do with fertilising (except for the burns).As JWK says, It think the topsoil...
What did you top dress it with?
As I said above, grass not rooting all points to a soil issue. If it's compacted clay, you're going to have trouble with it. Just describing the...
Exactly. Good luck!
Be aware though that if you have loads of thatch (and it sounds like you do) then only getting some of it out will mean that any seed spread on...
That depends on how thatchy it is and how your going to be aerating it. My usual process is to scarify it to get most of the thatch out, then...
Yes, lightly treading it in does help.
