Bare Patches in Lawn, Areas Looks Like Grass is Dying (UK)
My garden lawn is not in the best condition at the moment. It has heathly patches along with bare patches and in some areas it looks like the grass is dying. I just wondered if anyone had any advice on how to save my lawn. I live in scotland so the climate is cool and damp.

If your climate is pretty much always cool and damp, I would recommend seeding. Not just seeding alone though. Consider giving your whole lawn an "overhaul" and don't just treat bare spots.
I would first ask myself if there is anything stressing my grass out? Ex: pets trampling, people playing sports, cars driving over turf, etc. Over stressed grass will eventually die if not treated properly.
I would then use a core aerator and aerate the lawn. Aerators can typically be rented at a local hardware store. Then after aerating I would lay down seed. No need to dig the seed in just throw it down in the bare patches.
Then I would fertilize using a broadcast spreader. Using an organic fertilizer will help immensely with the ph balance of your soil which will then enrich your grass plants.
Hope this helps!
