Hi,
I have a lawn that is North facing and gets no sun during the winte months. Its very damp and and I even get the odd mushroom growing. Th grass gets very patchy and thin during these months and I usualy hav to re-seed parts of it during April / May to ensure a good lawn for th new season.
Is there anything I can do to help stop this happening

Silly-nilly. Cut the lawn into sod units. Turn them all 180 degrees. Now all faces south.
Is it your front lawn?
The lawn is the back one

You will need to move your house or at the least, arrange a bunch of mirrors to bend the sun around the house so that it will hit the grass. Good luck!
There was me thinking this was a gardening help forum not a place fo
childish jokes.
I'm off to join another forum that can offer sensible advice

You could consider planting ground covers such as myrtle, pachysandra, english ivy etc, instead of grass.
Google: sense of humor.

man that fungus is really getting to you!
let me put in my 2 cents
figure out away to get your yard to drain properly. you could try building up the areas that pool.
ah ~ come on he's high on mushrooms. ;)
I replied with sensible advice, now it's time for a sensible question.
What the hell is wrong with you, Astraman?
oops never-mind - gardenbanter.co.uk
My bad. All lawns are omnidirectional. Sorry, I can't speak English. Only the language native to USA which is more defining when making interrogatives.. Thanks.
Other than the joke, I think he did get some good advice. That was to make sure he's using a grass mix suitable for dense shade and to consider if other plantings would work better, at least for part of the area. Another tip is to make sure you promptly remove leaves in Fall, assuming you have any.
The quality of the answers you get also depends on the info you give. I saw the post and didn't reply because there was no info as to location, climate, type of soil, etc.
OK well now we know.
Wow. I just went there, and had a look at their interface. That's worse than G2. I didn't think that was possible. It not only censors content, but strips MID's that are referenced.
No wonder all I see from there is s*it posts.

The blimey limey is a wet blanket. :)
