"I'm taking a little sprinkle of Premier Grass Seeds from Boston Seeds and putting that into the patch," he explained.

"Then I'm placing some compost on top to quilt it... It will germinate within weeks and make our lawn look lush."

For those looking to try this method, a 2kg bag of Boston Seeds Premier Lawn Grass Seed can be purchased from various online retailers and gardening shops, including Amazon.

If bought directly from Boston Seeds, it costs £16.

The product boasts a plethora of five-star reviews from satisfied customers.

One enthusiastic reviewer wrote: "If you want a quality grass seed then go no further, Boston Seeds is fantastic and does exactly what it says on the bag."

Another customer shared their success story: "Worked a treat after leather jackets had completely damaged my lawn, over-seeded and top dressed and it’s starting to look decent again."

A third reviewer noted that their lawn is now the "best" they've ever seen it, describing it as "a solid carpet of soft green and quite fine grass; the soil visible through the scarified grass has all vanished beneath this new coat."

Strowlger's method is straightforward and cost-effective, making it accessible for gardeners of all levels.

By following his advice, you can transform your winter-worn lawn into a lush, green paradise ready for summer enjoyment.
