I can feel a cold draft coming from one of my bedroom windows, even when it's closed. This is making the room uncomfortable and I'm sure it's contributing to higher heating costs this winter.

10 LösungenRe-seed Sparse Areas
If large areas are completely bare, consider lightly re-seeding those spots, ensuring proper seed-to-soil contact.
Follow Seed Packet Instructions
Ensure you are planting seeds at the depth and spacing recommended on the grass seed packaging.
Apply a Thin Layer of Topsoil or Compost
A very thin layer (1/8 to 1/4 inch) of compost or fine topsoil can help improve moisture retention and seed contact.
Rake and Roll
Gently rake the seeded area to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, then lightly roll or walk over the area to firm it up.
Consider a Soil Test
A soil test can accurately determine nutrient levels and pH, guiding more precise fertilization.
Apply a Nitrogen-Rich Fertilizer
Use a fertilizer with a higher first number (N-P-K ratio) to provide essential nitrogen for greening and growth. Follow product instructions carefully.
Check Soil Moisture
Use your finger to check soil moisture. If it feels dry an inch down, it's time to water.
Adjust Watering Schedule
Water more frequently (lightly, multiple times a day) during the germination phase, ensuring the top inch of soil remains consistently moist. Once established, gradually reduce frequency and increase duration.
Consider Deck Replacement
If the deterioration is widespread and structural components are compromised, a full deck replacement might be the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Sand and Refinish Deck Surface
Thoroughly sand down the deck surface to remove splinters and old finishes, then apply a new protective stain or sealant.
