lawn repair soil
Hello, I have a approx 110 square meter shady lawn that I need to repair. It was turfed two years ago, I think fairly badly, and doesn't seem to have been watered through the summer.It is patchy with 70% green, 30% dead.The client is only renting, so doesn't want to pay to have the turf lifted and relaid. My plan is to reseed the patches next week and care for it properly.Can anyone recommend a good soil to use? I'm looking for a brand or supplier that I can trust.Thanks for any advice.

Have many started cutting lawns yet?We went out on Monday March 2nd. I was slightly apprehensive about whether the ground would be too wet or if the grass would have grown enough to warrant a cut, but all absolutely great. Ground plenty firm enough and a good bit of growth on all lawns so far. So that's it for us, we're fully up and running for the new season. How is everyone else getting on?
