Answer 4

Use a medium washed river sand and spread it evenly to a depth of about 1 cm (1/2 inch) in Spring as the growth increases. Take into account the levels needed to drain water away. As the grass grows through the sand mow it frequently to encourage it to thicken and apply fertilizer.

Hope this helps
