My lawn has suddenly started to turn brown colour

After a couple of years of my lawn looking really good I recently mowed it afew weeks ago and my mower didn't pick up all the cut grass, my own fault I didn't then take up the excess until afew weeks later. Now 3 weeks on from raking up the excess it is still really brown and looks quite nasty. I have used weed and feed afew weeks ago. Any ideas or tips how to get it back to former glory?

Hi Lloyd
It looks like you cut it to short for a first cut and then maybe frosted.
It looks like it needs a really good soaking, I mean a really good soaking.
and then patience and then another good soaking.
It's possible you put on to much feed in dry weather and burned it.
Good luck.........don't despair.........

 

Thanks for the advice. You are probably right with too short first cut. I'll go get the hose pipe

Hello Lloydarr
the thread below may be useful to you . For the record I never use granular weed and feed only the liquid stuff dispensed with a watering can . I feel it gives better coverage with minimal chance off burning.
Evergreen used to do a very good one , but its not available now . I used Vitax Liquid lawn Feed n Weed this year.
