The iron will help suppress the moss during the Summer with a good chance of it being well reduced next season. The sand itself will create better drainage. One of the key ingredients to this plan is the use of lawn sand which contains 1% Iron (Fe). I’m going to apply 3 x Spring Summer, 1 x Autumn and 1 x Winter Feed before the turn of the year.Įach granular feed will be a minimum of 8 weeks apart. Granular feeds are the backbone of any lawn care plan.

This will kill off the moss so it’s ready for one more scarification before getting on with the overseed.

Iron Sulphate will be essential early on. I wouldn’t normally go to this extent but I’m keen to create some solid drainage in this lawn. This time I’m going to hire an automated aeration machine so I can get the job done quicker. Everything begins with a deep, deep scarification and a real good hollow-tine aeration.
