Our lawn is a bit of a mess with bald patches and the bottom of the garden is more moss than grass (which I don't actually mind as at least it looks green!). Does anyone have any tips for improving the lawn? There's a lot of weeds growing in it, in particular dandilions which are a right pain in the garden as they appear everywhere and I'm sure they are all the same plant! I pull them out when I find them, but they soon return any tips for getting rid of at least some of them? The garden slopes downhill so water tends to drain off pretty quickly at the top part. I've seen a seed supplier that offers packets of lawn flower seeds, http://www.bostonseeds.com/advice/2/Wildflowers/72/Wildflower-Mixtures-BSFL-Flowering-Lawn/, and I'm tempted to give it a go and see how it works and if it will give a better short "grass" area than the actual grass itself but of course once the seeds are sown it won't be easy to get rid of them lol. Though I'll be trying to get individual packets of seeds, already have clover growing over the top corner of the lawn so don't need to plant more of that lol
(And just in case anyone is thinking is there any actual lawn on my lawn with the moss at the bottom and clover at the top and dandilions, yes there is an actual grassy bit!)
