I may be over-reacting here at 40 wks pregnant of course...
Our lawn is bumpy and patchy with some bare bits, lots of clover, an area beset with moss and a fair few dandelions courtesy of our neighbours who seem to cultivate the wildlife. I am not out for a perfect lawn by any means - just somewhere my ds (19mo) can run and play and that looks presentable.
I thought I'd worked out a fairly easy fix - stab it & lift with a fork (good for bringing on baby I hoped), spread that Evergreen multipurpose food/killer stuff over it all and then reseed the areas that are bare. Then just deal with the dandelions as they reappear.
BUT but but. Today I went to start the stabbing business and the lawn is rock hard. With my full and substantial weight plus baby (also substantial) I could even get an inch deep.
What now?
Is it just too dry and the wrong time, or is my strategy shot? Or am I being too feeble? I could ask dh to help but he's not fast and doesn't get the nesting thing, (or need to encourage a baby out!).
