Use Scotts fertilizer/weed killer. One can get a hand held fertilizer spreader at Lowe's or the hardware store. Then aerate the lawn in October, adding grass seed into the holes.
One can get great plants that are good in the shade at any local nursery. The employees there will provide good ideas.
So my wife and I finally got a home, unfortunately the lawn is in rough shape.
I have two questions
1. we have a very sparse lawn and what coverage there is is mostly weeds- any suggestions on how to get more grass coverage, I was thinking about putting down that Scotts grow anywhere stuff and hoping for the best.
2. We have a huge patch of Ivy that we want to pull out. Its got a bunch of pine trees in it, so we're pretty sure that between the shade and the roots, no grass will grow there, any suggestions on plants that will?
thanks
