having given my lawn a good low cut (after a long while) I've noticed quite a few bare patches. I was wondering if I could sow grass seed in the bare patches and maybe overseed where the grass is a bit thin? While it is quite cold, the ground is almost permanently damp. what's the best way of going about planting seed - raking, fertiliser, seed? should seed be the last thing on top, or should i put something over it to stop the wildlife from eating it all.
Also have huge bare areas underneath the apple trees. I assume that's because there is no light getting to the grass. Is the seed for shaded areas any good, or a waste of time. Speaking of which, what is the best brand/kind of seed? (lawn has general use and is not particularly great looking as there is quite a bit of wild grass that pops up when it's not ben cut for a month.)
thanks folks.
