Hi,

I've just done my second cut of my back lawn and it is in serious need of some attention.
It is full of weeds (see photo) and moss.
Can I get some guidance as to:-
a) removing the weeds
b) re-seeding
Also, the garden is south-facing and about a 6' portion of it is in constant shade and there is virtually no growth. Is there anything I can do with this?
Tommy

how old is the lawn? i.e. is it part of a recent new build? could be compacted soil leading to bad drainage.

Your first step is a good application of feed, weed and mosskiller, perfect time of year for it. Works best when no rain forecast for a couple of days. You can then oversow any bare patches after a couple of weeks.
