I have just put up a 3/4 acre bird compound in the woods behind our
house, the post digging and netting made some mess, and I would like to
try an reestablish grass alongside the netting and around the posts
ASAP.
Is it too late to plant seed now? I am in north Shropshire. Thanks.

I planted in mid-Oct last year IIRC (there should be posts you can
google)
and that was OK, but I'm in Reading. I'd have thought that now should be
OK
though. FWIW, if you are just reseeding small patches, I've found that
polythene over the top makes a huge difference to germination, its 2 or
3x
faster.
It stops the birds eating the seed too! In our case the cats ate the
birds too!

September is a great time to plant grass seed .......mix it in buckets of
moist soil and let it germinate for 3 days then sow it that way the birds
wont eat it as the start of the grass shoots is there
