so, I read to add compost on top of the existing (and pathetic) lawn. Do I just sprinkle it on so what little grass is there has a fighting chance? I haven't checked yet to see the depth of the good soil
I am in Virginia - is to late to put down some of that fertilzer you mentioned?
Thanks
Hippo
ps - I LOVE this website and am very familiar with your JavaRanch site!!

Not many people make the connection that I'm the same guy between the two.
Yes, sprinkle a little compost on. No more than an inch deep.
Fertilizing is better. Not too late.

Thanks! I found a local nursery that carries the Ringer stuff, so I am off to get it today!
I am so glad we didn't put anything on our lawn this year. We often do, but we have a child now, so we haven't put anything on the lawn in the last year or so. 
I need to figure out this compost stuff now. I am not sure I want to buy that much to spread across the lawn (we are in a 1/4 acre lot, typical suburb small home). I do have a compost bin (Earth machine), but it doesn't hold that much to cover the lawn! Maybe I will just start a large pile in the back corner of our lot too.
