Re-seed bare patches, apply fertilisers and mosskiller towards the end of the month. Mow regularly, lowering the blades gradually to the disired height.

Treat with selective weedkillers or combined weed/feed preperations if you haven't fed the lawn in April.

Mow lawns twice a week if possible working to a definite pattern. Water grass if necessary, remembering to soak thgoroughly.
July
Treat grass with second application of fertiliser. Water in as necessary. Dont cut the grass to short.
August
Keep mowing regularly and watering when necessary. Fill in any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil.
September
Raise mower blades to allow the grass to thicken and protect roots from winter frost and snow. Apply Autumn-Winter fertiliser, weedkiller and mosskiller.
October
Rake out thatch from turf and spike lawn to assist in drainage. Brush in soil and sharp sand. Continue cutting if necessary.

Use a stiff brush to remove wormcasts from the grass. Dont mow if very wet as this will compact the soil and encourage waterlogging.
