Lawn scarifying

Our grass is under 4 inches of snow at the moment so I think we will have to wait awhile before we can tackle the lawn

Our grass is like a bog due to the continuos rain over the last few months. We have no chance of doing anything to the lawn for a while yet.

With the mild winter we have had my grass is six inches high in some parts but still far too wet to try and cut.I think that scarifying is a good idea as its surprizeing how much dead grass there is in a lawn.

A little early to be scarifying yet, ideally Mid March when the it should be starting to get a little warmer and things are starting to grow .as you will need to feed the lawn as well with a good spring fertiliser. The best thing you can do now is to fork your lawn this will encourage the roots of your grass to go down and not cause the thatch.don't cut to short to early as this will encourage moss ...hope this help's.

Rice would grow better than our back lawn at present, squelches when you walk across it.

I scarify my lawn twice a year, once in early spring late March early April, and again in autumn around October. I use a fertiliser called After Cut throughout spring and summer and have always had good results.

The grass hasn’t stopped growing this winter, albeit very slowly and really could do with a cut but like others have said its too wet.

Think we are just scratching the surface with this thread

I have my own gardening business and have just started to use Mo Bactor it promises to be the holy grail of lawn treatment. Used it once on a few lawns at the end of last year and the results look promising.

Oh I don't know. I think it's a cut above the rest. 

No need for the fancy stuff. G toyour local Farmers Co op. For £12-50 you can get 25 kilos of 15/15/15 granular fertiliser. Will do for allyour gardening needs. To meet terrorists legislation you will need to provide Driv Lic/Passport and Utility Bill.
