My lawn hasn't looked like this in spring for ages. No moss whatsoever. I'm really pleased. Although I fed it a couple of weeks ago, I have resisted cutting it till now to help root growth. Leaving the grass longer both provides more food for root growth and prevents stress. This last point has been apt this year; things are getting very dry.
Gave it a quick comb with the raker (scarified lightly at half walking pace)to remove the dead grass. Quite a lot came out but it hardly showed. Great. Autumn moss treatment definitely pays dividends.
P.S. Don't throw your rakings away. They make an excellent soil conditioner and moisture retainer. We shall soon be digging them into the soil.
