Hello everyone 🙂
Since I found a lot of contradictory information during my online research, I wanted to get your feedback and ideas on the best way to care for the lawn after winter.
Attached are two pictures showing the current condition of my lawn (brown patches like in the pictures are present all over the lawn).
The lawn was treated with a “fall fertilizer” in autumn.
The lawn was seeded in summer 2019.
How would you approach getting the lawn back into good condition?
Scarifying? If yes, when is the best time for this?
Fertilizing? If yes, which type and when?
What else would you recommend?
Thanks & regards
Jörg

Behind my house, there is always about a three-week delay in spring because we have ground collectors. So, I have to wait even longer anyway.
This actually works well when scarifying, as only the bare spots are scarified at first, and once the compost and green waste have "eaten" the grass, the next round follows.
It’s always remarkable how much comes out of it.

This is snow mold. It does not affect the roots, so it’s not a serious problem.
Fertilize as soon as the grass growing degree days reach 150°C (302°F).
Please do not scarify. The lawn is already stressed. Actually, scarifying is not really necessary.
Aerating is more advisable, but not immediately.
Sunlight, water, fertilizer, and regular mowing will give you a healthy lawn.

In my opinion, a lot is being said here that doesn’t really fit.
Scarifying is rarely needed, but you should ventilate now. I have already fertilized as well; frost doesn’t affect the fertilizer, and the lawn temperature is suitable almost everywhere. The lawn needs nutrients to start growing.
