Mike.


I sowed in April last year and it was playable on by the summer.

Mind you, I did spend much of the autumn winter in preparation: Deep
digging, manuring, levelling, raking, raking, raking, levelling, levelling,
raking etc to give myself a near perfect seed bed. Lower layers well settled
upper tilth begging to be seeded.

In leas than a season it is a FAR better lawn than the other I had
professionally turfed with Rowlawn 8 years ago and have devoted much TLC on
every year since.
