Apologies in advance but I am a complete newbie in the garden!

I want to sew some grass where the previous owner had his garden
shed. When we removed the shed we found the ground cover in pea
shingle. I've tried raking as much as I can but it's firmly mixed in
with the soil.

My question is:

Is there a problem with sewing the grass into stoney ground?
Should I just try and rake the top layer stones away once the grass
has grown a bit?

Thanks in advance.

Charlie

Grass, as a stitching fiber is a tad coarse and rough on the hands.
Try sowing it instead.

Everytime I try to sew on stoney ground, my needle breaks. Darn!
