Unfortunately 1 month isnt long enough to improve a lawn and esp not October as grass growth slows down.
I would, mow the lawn weekly, cutting only down to 50mm.
You could cut out the worst of the thistle type weeds -dont take out many, you will just create bare patches.
If it stays warm, a fast growing lawn seed might help a bit, but a month is too short to establish.
Some autumn lawn feed may help, but its late really, Sept is the time.
You could water in ferrous sulphate, just a weak mix used for feed, not moss killer
I have bought some autumn lawn fertiliser from Aldi and got it delivered, none of the local diy had any. It says it has moss control too so i guess i cannot use it. should i just not feed it at all guys??
