Questionslawn for reseeding
Ann McNally Staff asked 16 years ago

Hi Gerry, I have a small lawn (4m x 6m) which I am preparing for reseeding with westlands dwarf ryegrass. The old lawn was pH neutral but had died off in parts and had some weeds, wild grass and moss. I rotovated it 2 days ago but did not spray round-up before hand. It is sorrounded by trees (12ft) at the edges. I have removed all the broken up sod, large stones and roots but the soil is still very compacted and dry. Should I rotovate it again and even spray it? Also should I add top soil before I sow as I have westlands lawn fertiliser to add? Thanks, Ann
