Scientifically nitrogen stimulates and promotes the growth of green foliage. Why? Well nitrogen is an major constituent of the chlorophyll molecule (This brings me back to school). Chlorophyll is a chemical substance that is needed during the process of photosynthesis (plant growth) AND gives the plants their green colour. The most prevelant nitrogen source comes in the form of ammonia. Ammonia can be hard to obtain and if you can obtain it, be sure to take the relevant safety precautions before working with it as it is highly corrosive!
Recommended method: Take a cup of ammonia and mix dilute it with 5 gallons of water. Mix it thoroughly and apply to the lawn. Once applied hose the grass further with water to ensure deep penetration to the soil.
If you can't get your hands on concentrated ammonia then consider using a nitrogen based lawn feed. The higher the nitrogen % the greener your garden. From previous experience I would highly recommend the
Evergreen 4 In 1 lawn feed. It actually removes mosses and weeds, whilst helping to promote the growth of grass and provides you with a greener coloured lawn. It has a 14% nitrogen concentration.
