I noticed late last year that where a plant had overgrown the corner of our lawn, it was pretty mossy. Somehow over the winter, the moss seems to have exploded - it's just a small lawn about 4m square and there's a border about 1m thick on one side now! I only noticed on the first mowing of the year, since it looks so green and lush 
I vaguely remembered you're supposed to rake moss and tried a little, but quickly gave up because all raking seems to do is pull up the whole lawn!
What's the right way to tackle this? Do I have to kill the moss then rake it perhaps? What about re-seeding?
I also have a problem with dandelions - already a few are appearing and they go from invisible to 6" across in about 3 days (it's a sun trap). I used weedkiller last year but it says you can only use it April-September, and no more than twice a year - it kills the things but only a few weeks later they're back
