new lawn this year?
Half our lawn is currently bare earth, wiith the weeds killed off. I'd
like to either sow grass seeds in the bare part, or buy ready made turf. Which is the better option? Seeds would be cheaper, turf would be quicker. When should the seeds/turf be laid down? Not much point at this time of year? Spring? March/April? ty for advice |

Our grass tends to stop growing in the summer and grow spring and autumn. So as long as it is growing you can do both. We had a total garden makeover this year, like on the TV, and in order to get a lawn for the summer I laid turf. Ground preparation for turf and seed is the same, turf is harder work to lay but it's instant green lawn even if you can't use it as such, seed takes much longer to get a lawn but will probably end up flatter and stronger. I say flatter as some of our turfs were not cut with a steady thickness despite ordering better quality. Another reason I used turf is that we have a cat and nice flat earth might have been too much temptation, we also have lots of birds and feral pigeons locally so seed would probably disappear. Of course having a small garden turf was not that costly. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
