Our lawn was set about 3 years ago but we werent given the keys for a while after so the grass was after growing very long by then so it never really recovered. We now have burnt grass and loads of clover. I have given it feed etc.. but its still burnt & patchy looking the the clover. Any suggestions would be great as it is a total eyesore!

I have been told that wood ash from a small iron stove are so burnt out that they are useless for the garden. Is this so? At the moment I throw them onto the lawn, is this OK?

I sowed a 1.5 acre lawn at the begining of June. I fertillized it with 10-10-20 in August, which resulted in a good consistent green lawn. However, now there are large patches of yellowish/light green areas. Should I fertilize it again now, or wait until March/April? If now, what is the best fertilizer to use -10-10-20?
