Gents after some advice on lawn fertilizer, my lawns are starting to look great but still a little patchy in areas, my little experience with fertilizer generally just makes the grass greener rather than make the grass grow over a wider area effectively fixing the patchy areas.

Can anyone suggest a fertilizer to fix the patchy areas I have?

Cheers

Hearing your daughters calling for you as they crying when they are leaving me to go on their holiday... Literally broke my heart...

Head up mate, only two weeks and they are going to have a great adventure


Use the time to recharge the batteries

Or maybe paint their room, cubby house so they have a great surprise on return

For bare patches I just get a rake and scarify it a bit, get a bag of sandy loam and cover it with that and fertilise/water regularly, if you get the soil right the grass will spread quickly.

Aerate it mate.
I do it every 3-4 years and it takes off again.
That ground looks pretty hard.

How often are you watering and for how long? How hard is the soil.... if you got the garden fork out, how much effort would it take to push it in?

Regular mowing is a great start in getting the plant to run and grow sideways rather than up... looks like it could do with a nice top dressing and a feed.

Dont get something with a real high nitrogen content, you dont really need to big surge of growth that will need mowing nearly every day

I agree core the lawn. Try a bit of gypsum to break down the clay too. I see some shade there, do you have tree roots that are under the lawn drawing moisture?

All of the above.

Core to aerate, top dress, some Lawn Porn Launch ( or similar ) and a good feed of slow release fertilizer.
