    @Sheal hey! Hope you don't mind be bothering you again but looking for some more advice. I have now cut my lawn and attached photos of how it looks, very patchy and bare. Can you suggest anything? Seed from B&Q? Or feed? Not sure what to do

    Hi Ryan. It's been a long wet winter and everything has suffered. Your young lawn has probably had the nutrients washed out of the soil. Temperatures are still to low at the moment particularly overnight so I suggest you wait until at least the middle of April before thinking of feeding or re-seeding. Meanwhile you could aerate the lawn by going over it with a garden fork and spiking it to a good three inches deep and giving it a wiggle to open up the soil. :)
