You sure don't need to use a "heavy" soil additive like clay. What about
adding sand? Mix it in with the existing soil. It would aerate the soil
somewhat and not hold any moisture.

Firstly, forgive my ignorance on lawn care. Here's my problem:

My lawn takes a lot of drainage from another elevated site behind my
own hence the soil is compacted and very damp. The end result is that
moss has taken over. I know I can't kill it once and for all. So far
I've used an electric moss raker which certainly seems to have cleared
the majority and I've aerated the lawn.

Now...what should I do next to give me a healthy lawn come the summer?

Should I apply an organic compost/sharpsand mix over the lawn then
resow or am I being very naive. Your advice would be most welcome!!
