    There's definitely some there, but not as bad as last year.

    As you have moss why don't you try MO Bacter
    http://www.viano-organics.com/en/viano-retail-range/Lawnproducts

    It's needs a heavy application so a setting 15 on the Scott's evengreen drop spreader but it will not stain, scorch, is a slow release fertiliser, no black moss so no need to remove as it eats it away, helps to break down thatch and is pet friendly.
    I use it and have had good results plus there's no flush growth pattern.

    Normally I use Everris fertilisers which were Scotts and their weed and feed is now under the ICL name which I'm yet to try as its a higher N rated product. They don't do one that's slow release with iron to tackle moss which is why I think you should try MO Bacter.
    It just needs to be applied on the heavy side for best results.

      I now have a fence!

      The lawn has various bits of 3 leaf clover growing in places now, how to treat that?

      Looking forward to scarifying again this year.

        The weather has been so depressing recently. So rainy!

        I have sprayed the lawn for clover, it was growing in the new areas, it is all dead now, but the grass is fine.

        I reckon once the dry weather returns I am going to cut the lawn short and then scarify a day or two later!

        Its coming to that time again...
