As I recently got a new (better) mower, just been messing with my "lawn" trying to make it look half decent. What I forgot was, the last time I went over it with a vigorous raking I ended up with a disaster zone...what's wrong with my grass!?
What I'm left with (in the main) after raking out the moss and debris, is...not grass. Just flat patches of mud, with tufts of stalks! Some of the stalks that the raking exposes are a foot long (haven't raked it for a while, forgot how bad it was last time).
Why can't I get any real grass growing on my lawn, with blades, that cut nice and look plush?
I had a huge mat of moss and stalks, now after the raking I have mud patches and stalks. Is this disaster salvageable?
I tried over-seeding it a while ago...comes up pathetic, like patches of needles instead of flat blades.
Anyone any ideas? Returfing is financially out of the question.
