Hello, fellow gardening enthusiasts!
I'm in a new rental in Brisbane and have a decent patch of grass in the backyard that I was so looking forward to tend to and enjoy.
When we walked on the yard for the first time we realised that, as lush as it looked from the back window, it was actually quite sparse when standing on it. The grass obviously was planted right before we moved in.
We then saw that the ground is quite uneven and "crunchy" to walk on. Seems to me like it might be clay-ish soil and it gets cracky when dry and mushy/swampy when wet (not sure though, as I've never done gardening before).
I'm wondering what I could do to make the yard nicer/better, or how I can add more/ better grass into it without investing loads of money, since it's a rental 😅
I'd appreciate any input so much!
