I'm giving up I purchased a house 6 months ago in Germany, I wanted to be someone who maintained their lawn...make it look good, luscious and green. I spent hundreds, probably close to a thousand euros buying products to maintain the lawn so it could be healthy but I feel like everything I do makes it worse. The lawn started out completely covered in moss, it was thick and throughout the lawn so I sprayed liquid iron down and waited a couple of weeks before going over with a scarifier to try and get it all out along with the thatch. I used an aerator to get some air into the lawn then I waited a while for it to warm up before I overseeded. I probably put the seed down too early, I made the rookie mistake of thinking it was warming up but the temperature then went down again. I ended up overseeding again with a better seed once I knew the temperature would be stable and it has covered up the patches good but some still remain. I've spent hours on this lawn, seeding, watering, cutting etc, but now after all this work I have 2 problems, firstly ants, I seem to have ants nets throughout the lawn and now I have a problem with moles as you can see from the picture. So yeah I've given up now, I will try again next year. Perhaps I will just buy some fresh turf and put some netting down so it's not ruined by moles and other animals.
