Bare patches in lawn

    Hi all,

    Looking for some advice in relation to bare patches that have appeared in our lawn. The lawn is approx 3 years old and has developed severe patches with no growth and the moss is taking over.
    Not sure how to attach images.

    I'm putting it down to the heat last summer as the areas affected have no shading and are south facing.


    What action should I take?

    Poke the bare patches a couple of inches with a garden fork to aerate it. Then sprinkle some grass seed and fertiliser/lawn feed. Should see Imorovement in a few weeks. In fact spread some lawn feed over all our lawn.

    No dogs in the house or neighboring houses.

    I usually apply osmo feed spring and autumn so was disappointed to see how damaged its become.
    As the previous poster asked, any recommendations for feed, compost or seed?
