My garden is very mossy. High trees used to surrounded it, but last Summer I removed them - it now gets more light and sun. I applied 7:6:17 two weeks ago and today used a scarifier and spread lawn seed afterwards on top of the freshly scarified lawn. Was this the right thing to do and is there anything else i need to do now, or just wait? What other feritlisers should I use into the summer?

Hi Gerry..I need your advise to improve my lawn which in places is patchy and growth is not good, i put fertilizer down 10-10-20 but for the area to which growth is bad this did not work. Could you please advise if possible solutions and recomendations. For info when my top soil came i was not a good rich soil so maybe this could be one of the reasons.

Lawn of approx. one acre. Some poor patches but generally OK. We usually keep it cut short so it looks reasonable, but we have docks, thistles (tight to the ground so mower misses them) and clover and would like to feed and weed now in preparation for winter.
