North Facing Lawn

Hi,

I have a lawn that is North facing and gets no sun during the winter months. Its very damp and and I even get the odd mushroom growing. The grass gets very patchy and thin with some areas dying during these months and I usualy have to re-seed parts of it during April / May to ensure a good lawn for the new season.

Is there anything I can do to help stop this happening

 

hi Scott54321

lawn dressing would help with the damp part as for re-seeding i have to do this every yr due to been on clay and my drainage is pants too but this yr round about now i have normally a very patchy lawn but i applied a autum lawn food with moss killer and i can't believe the differance it has made ,

you can still put it down untill the middle of nov so that might be worth ago and i have also jumped all over the garden this yr with my garden fork to help with drainage and thats also payed off do you have a picture ?

and what type of soil are you on ?

im sure there will be someone who knows more than me along to help but thats what i have done this yr and fingers crossed it should look good at the start of next yr oh and mine is also shaded alot

 

Re soil type - I am on clay

Might give to Autumn lawn food a go, what have I to loose. Thanks for the suggestion.
