Saving my lawn

TriedandTested · 14 Sep 2009 at 19:45

It's gone horrible yellow in recent weeks. Neighbours lawns look a lot better (still some yellow but only small amounts).

Any tips to bring it back to life?

Have a horrible feeling my housemate overdone the feed n weed.

Any recommendations for grass seed and where to buy (online preferably!). It's mentioned in the other thread - should I go wholesale?

How much area are you looking at and is it to oversow or start fresh?

Not sure what 'oversow' means but I'd say 70% of the garden is yellow. Some of those areas are attempting to grow back but I think my housemate went OTT with some feed n weed stuff, possibly killing the grass along with the weeds.

That sounds familiar - we do tend to keep it pretty short. Will change that now, and also try and let the grass recover a bit. Winter is coming though so don't want it to be totally ruined before then!
