Patchy lawn

[ccr32]

As per the image, our lawn has decided to die in various small patches. Have tried a multitude of things to perk it up again, including different feeds, regular watering, mowing it, not mowing it, etc., but with not a lot of luck.

Can anyone recommend anything that might bring these unsightly bits of brown back to life??

Thanks.

PatchMagic - does what it says on the tin.
Brilliant stuff

+1 for the Patchmagic stuff. If you get it when it's on offer then its just as cheap as decent seed and topsoil.

It does seem to bulk out quite a bit more than I expected so make sure you rake over the the dead patch and possibly remove a cm or so before using.

It could be chaffer grubs, they feed on the roots , have a scrape just under the surface around affected areas to see if you find small white grubs .If you do I will further advise .

Thanks for the tips people - I will have a dig around to see if I can find any grubs, and if not, will get some patch magic and give that a whirl.

Cheers.

It's a good idea to cover and of the newly seeded areas with mesh or wire to stop birds eating the seeds/saplings before they get established.

The Patch Magic seeds also seem to be on turbo charged growth in the my garden. The rest of the grass grows fast but the areased treat with Patch Magic grow twice as fast.
