Can I make my sad lawn look greener for Saturday or have I left it too late?

[WibblyPigRocks]

It's a sort of greeny-brown colour at the mo but we are having a garden party for DS's 1st birthday and want it to look a bit nicer!

Any ideas?

Pray for a thungerstorm to release nitrogen which will instantly green up your lawn.

Spray paint?

[WibblyPigRocks]

Sadly, rain isn't unlikely so maybe that'll work. Otherwise, I'll be purchasing that paint...

Thanks for replies!!

There are some lawncare tips here although I can't vouch for them.

I can't remember its name and haven't found it through googling, but there's a product which is advertised a lot on the telly, which you pour on or scatter over the lawn and it's supposed to make it greener within a few days. Could you go and look in a garden centre or DIY superstore?

We've got a similar problem ( dogs and children) and I'm going to try thiswhich is meant to work in three days

Water it for at least an hour every evening this week. It will make a difference.

Northernrefugee's link is the stuff I was thinking of (or something very like it).

This all sounds fab - thanks all!
