how do you look after a soggy lawn in winter?

[mogwai]

Sorry, I don't know the technical terms.

Our lower lawn gets really damp in winter. In fact, it's pretty waterlogged from December-March.

Is there any way I can protect it for the winter so it's not a mossy swamp in the spring?

aerate your lawn with a fork or a rotary spiker

You need what I have..... however, you will also probably not have the time to use it and brush in the sand either....

Its called a tining fork, or a hollow tiner.

Or you can hire a man with a tining fork or a tining machine to tine your lawn for you.

Lazy

hey I learnt a new verb

Actually what I need is home-made chutney, for to snaffle with blue cheese ...will be getting round to that e-mail when I have a minute!

Hey, you don't know the half of it. Actually found some bilberries still growing (or rather still hanging on) in the peaks at the weekend. Small batch of blueberry muffins later...... You may disown me if you like.

Potassium sulphate in the spring kills the moss and promotes the grass..
IF ITS WET ITS WET, THAT IT, can improvre drainage by adding fine gravel to surface, but talking tonnes..

Sharp sand in the holes created by the tining fork works quite well too AA as that helps to allow the water drain away below the surface level.

Wet is one thing. Bog is another!!!
