Hi thanks for all the great advice so far on my new garden - I've
decided to tackle the borders and sort out the lawn

I wanted to know if the 'miracle seed' stuff that advertises in
gardening magazines is ok to use?

I'm gonna do what Bob suggested and fill up the uneven bits on my lawn
with the new soil, but i need to grow grass on top - the adverts sell
enough seed to cover 1000 sq feet for about £50-70. Does this sound
about right? Is this cheaper than relaying turf? Also, does it really
only take 5 days to grow?? If so - BriNg iT oN!!!

Somebody is trying to sell you snake oil

Get yourself some ordinary lawn grass seed at a tenth of the price instead.
Your lawn will take no longer to become usable than that of the wide boys
who are trying to lay their hands on your money.
