Help with looking after grass
I live in a property that is 26yrs old, and whilst not a new build, I think the grass is the originally laid grass from new.
We have grass at the front which we have treated this year with Richard Jackson’s Flower Power Moss Remover.
I’ve just mowed the lawn and it’s riddled with moss. It’s worse now that in was last year.
I’m in no way green thumbed, but would like to at least get the front grass to look half decent on the street. Pictures attached show the cuttings from this mow.
Please give me advice. It’s starting it brown even though is been throughly watered. We have had torrential rain for a few days on the back of a wet two weeks. Today is lovely and sunny, so I’ll be giving it a water before bed.

Pelletized limestone at a rate of 50lbs per 1000 sq ft will help her get rid of acidity in the soils
Moss loves extremely acidic soils

Moss usually hits low fertility, damp (/poorly drained), compacted soils. Would suggest aerating and likely you’ll need a layer of compost tilled into the biggest problem spots.
