We had a new (less than 1 year) very patchy lawn which I overseeded over 2 weeks ago. I prepared diligently the existing lawn (aereted, de-thatched etc). I cut the grass fairly tight, laid top-soil then seed down. Gently raked the new seed in. Watered every day, when it wasn't raining. I am still waiting for germination! The problem now is that the existing grass it getting quite long and I can't cut it. Do I just wait it out and hope the new seed eventually germinates?

I am in the process of preping the ground for seeding, part of which includes drawing in top soil to raise the level by 4". I just have a few questions- • should I add sand to the soil prior to seeding? • should I roll the topsoil prior to seeding (I would presume so to to avoid depressions due to foot traffic when seeding) • what fertilizer if any should I add in conjuction with the seed. I want to do this right, so all advice will be greatly appreciated, or link to suitable webpage.

Early last year I found a hole in my front lawn. It was 3½” or 4” in diameter and very neat – no clay or grass around it. It went down about 6” and then seemed to turn and go under the lawn, towards the house. About the middle of the year I packed the hole with small stones (white chips) and topped it off with soil. To my amazement, about two months ago I found the hole back again – still with no clay or grass or white chips around it, but there were some white chips at the bottom of the hole. I presume that the hole was made by some animal. Any idea as to what it might be? I’ve never seen any signs of life near the hole.

The problem I have is I sowed a new lawn 2 years ago but have had problems with neighbours cattle coming in on lawn ( I have no gate yet) and as a result there is a load of holes in the lawn.What would be the best way to mend this. I have been told to fill holes with topsoil in spring and add grass seed.
