What can I add to my son's yard to help all the grass we have sowed grow? It has mostly clay.

I was just trying to keep my question fresh in the minds of those people looking to help. I wasn't trying to insult or to have an inappropriate post.

I wouldn't start a lawn on clay . I would till it and add gypsum and peat moss to the soil before seeding... or lay the lawn on a layer of top soil over the tilled clay . You may also want to mix clover in with the grass seed. It is great at producing nitrogen for the soil . When you mow do not bag ;Get a mower with a mulching blade . The clippings add nutients to the soil . I would probably aerate the lawn on an annual basis.

Thanks. The problem that I have is the grass has been sowed already; I am looking for a quick fix short of tilling the yard and adding the lime (gypsum) and peat moss. It looks like I will be tilling!!
