Grass

Foodhoarder

Hi, I have never had a garden before. My new home has (or had) a lovely lawn, but there was lots of moss growning amongst the grass, so i bought a moss/weed killer, thing is it has killed off my grass, scorched the earth.

How can i get the grass to grow again?
Thanks

You might find it has just killed the moss and if there was a lot it might look as if there is no grass.

You need to get the old dead moss out and reseed the bare patches

It would be a good idea to re-seed the patches. Does your garden get much sunlight? If the garden stays damp then the moss will probably keep coming back, no matter what action you take to get rid of it.

The garden gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day. I have put new seed down over a week ago, but not seen any growth yet, think maybe i should have raked the ground first and then put it down?

It should grow back after a few weeks you will then have patches and need to reseed. You need to water the seed when its dry daily will a fine rose on a watering can it will take around 7-10 days when seed pops up depending if you sowed it too deep it will take longer

It is quite important to rake the moss out in my opinion.

Also before you spread your seed put a thin layer of fertilizer down to.
