My townhouse has a small lawn, about 5m x 5m. It's south-facing but one end is shaded, one corner particularly. This end is quite mossy and the corner has died entirely. I already relaid the corner with some new turf - the lawn is just starting to grow after the winter.
I have bought/got:
- Some 4-in-1 weedkiller/moss-killer/food/care dry mixture
- A tub of iron sulphate
- Some heat/cold/wet-resistant grass-seed, to over-seed
- A rake
- A lawn aerator
I'm not sure what order I should do things in. During the summer damp isn't a problem, only in the autumn, so I wonder if aerating for drainage is best done then - I want to retain water as the garden is a sun-trap in summer.
Is the 4-in-1 OK to use with iron sulphate, or does it replace it - we don't have lots of moss now I raked some out.
I haven't cut the lawn yet the first time. It's just starting to grow, but dandelions are already making an appearance and they grow like lightning.
Cut, rake, then spread the 4-in-1 and seed?
