Do you know any other way Alan? I never use any chemicals on the grass incase of harming the dogs.

I wrote to the makers years ago, because of the animals (tortoises) and was assured that it was OK to use.
Doesn't kill weeds though
Guess you could use salt

Re: Moss
I just read a small article that said, if you let the weed and feed dry, it should be ok. Grazing animals should be kept off the grass for 7 days.This might be useful:-

Thanks Rachel, but I'm not surprised it didn't kill the weeds, its a very good feed for plants! Surprised it didn't make your tortoises grow too.

Thanks for that Jan, I had a look. Its not really feasible to keep the dogs from the garden for 7 days plus a mowing though. They're obviously not 'grazing' animals but today for example, one of them must have been feeling a bit 'off' and was pulling at the grass as they do when they want to be sick, so I wouldn't want them doing that if it had just been treated. Guess I'll play safe and leave it as it is, but thanks for trying.

see post above.http://www.over50sforum.com/showthre...716#post427716
..my neighbour has a great lawn and does this every year. It improves the drainage. She uses peat with the sand but many people don't use peat these days.
I can't be bothered to do it because I like moss
