Here is an updated, clearer version of this guide.
In short
Early autumn is when I overseed the thin patches. I rake out the dead grass, scatter seed and keep it damp for two weeks. Planning this step at the start of the season makes it easier.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most frequent problem is doing too much at once. Another is skipping the follow-up: what you do in the weeks after matters as much as the main job. Keep notes so next year starts from what you learned.
Many experienced growers report better results when they follow this routine every year [source needed: a horticultural extension guide that supports this routine].
Take it one step at a time, watch how your plants respond, and adjust next season. A little attention at the right moment goes a long way.
