Hey,
I had some turf put in around 3-4 years ago and now it's dead to say the least. I mean theres moss growing everywhere, some places nothing grows and others a few patches left. I have more dandylions (sp?) then anything else. It's just plain sad. I have tried everything my local hardware store had suggested. Hell, my father even caught it on fire. Because of some stupid myth, I don't know. Do you guys have some suggestions or anything, even a 1-800 number I could call.

Thanks,
JR

Also, NEWBIE! Can't wait to learn.

Sounds like a shade problem. Plant myrtle.

I would man, but I'm in a very small town in the north of Canda. The population is around 900, so there isn't anyone that could really help me on the subject in the area.

Thanks,
JR

Everything Rob C said but I would add that also sounds like bad drainage. At least down here when we have a moss problem it usually means bad drainage along with ph and to much shade.
