Here is the deal yo. I have a slight down slope in my back yard. I have always recieved ample water and sun/shade to have a healthy lawn without the help of anything. Just ol mother nature doing her work. Well long story short the lack of water, then masive rains caused alot of runof from the upper 'common area' to run to my back yard. That with some of it getting burned has left the back half of my yard looking like death warmed over.
It is getting nice outside and I need to apply seed and fertilizer. Problem is i lived in apts for years and have never had to do anything to my lawn besides water it before. What are some cheap but effective options? do i seed then fertilize? or the other way around? or together? Do i need to add a weed preventor because i have alot of dead grass?
I basically have no clue how to save my last 1/4 of lawn?
