Fertilizing rough ground

QuestionsFertilizing rough ground
Michael Burke Staff asked 16 years ago

I have a very large area of lawn – almost two acres in a limestone area – which I have just had cleared of briars and ferns. Five years ago it was rich green grass but I let it go wild due to illness and now with the briars and ferns cut it is very bare. Will the grass grow back naturally – I’m too old to re-seed it – and what fertilizer will help this. Is fertilizer high in Phosphorous and Potassium such as 7/6/17 or even 0/7/30 a good type to use.
