Hi,Almost 100% certain that's not a grub issue. My first guess is that it's compacted, and the shallow root depth as a result means the grass is...
I can't really advise specifically without seeing it to be honest. If it is really thatchy then scarifying heavily in autumn would be recommended...
That should be fine and the stony base should help it to drain well. Hope it goes well!
It depends on what you want to grow. A good long carrot or parsnip will certainly have trouble, but most other "leafy" crops should do okay.
The second picture looks like a classic Red Thread infection. If they did put down a fungicide then it should have treated it and you should have...
Lots of veg benefit from deep manuring. Potatoes, Cucurbits, Corn, Legumes, brassicas ...
Because it's horrible. http://www.hpa.org.uk/webc/HPAwebFile/HPAweb_C/1287148061089
Yes it is. It is against the law to use it as a herbicide and has been since May 2010.
Obviously how you prepare it does depend on your soil and what you intend to plant there, but generally a lawn will be pretty compacted pretty far...
Just double dig it and put the grass turf upside-down at the bottom of the trench. It won't grow back and will rot down into a lovely loam to feed...
The difference between mechanical scarification and trying to do it with a rake is literally night and day. You can scrape and scrape with a...
Spring-tine rakes are pretty bad at scarifying lawns to be honest. You'd be better off just hiring a machine for a couple of hours in the autumn,...
I wouldn't feed it or you'll risk burning it. Spike it if you can and just wait for rain!
Which is why a fancy grass is not a good idea! Pick a good, tough, local species. It will do much better!
I can't advise because I don't really know what you mean by a "fancy" seed. Have a read here on types of grasses you can get in the UK. Generally...
Ripping it up and starting again is considerably more work, much more expensive and you are unlikely to get a better result. Scarifying and...
Not if you intent to overseed your lawn after scarifying, as the weedkiller will stop the grass seed from germinating. You need to leave at least...
Don't use a combined weed and moss killer. Just put a weed killer down soon, then a separate moss killer down a couple of weeks before you intend...
Yes, it is a good idea to feed the lawn now, especially if you're now getting some rain like the rest of us. The patched areas should also be up...
Well, that is why you try to kill all the perennial weed roots before you start the main work ... you won't get much coming in over the winter,...
