However, now is a good time to do it, because it will have all
autumn, winter and spring to establish roots before next summer.
In fact, now is perhaps the ideal time.


Agreed.....IF the 'drought' breaks. If not then make sure the ground below
the turf is heavily watered a day of so before laying to get water into the
rooting zone (a couple of days to let the surface dry enough to work on)
