I have a relatively small lawn (maybe 5 thousand square feet spread
across a couple of patches) that has developed seemingly more brown
than green spots, including a bit of a mat of dead grass.
I know I need to do something to condition the soil and re-seed this
fall.
When was the last time you fertilized? Watered? Where are you?
Bob
I fertilized generously with Scott's stage 1 in early April.
Then generously with Scott's stage 2 in early May, then again with
Scott's stage 2 in early June since I was concerned that with all the
heavy rains we experienced in Boston in May/June that the anti-weed
protection had washed away and that the fertilizer had been consumed.
I also limed once.
We live in the Boston area.
