'Twas Sat, 19 Oct 2002 10:12:05 +0100, when "Michael Anderson"
enriched all our lives with these
worthy thoughts:

Advice from several people with varying degrees of gardening experience has
mentioned that the seed should be ok if the average temperature is above 5 -
6 degree C. As the days are getting noticably colder I was wondering if it
would be a good idea to lay sheets of polythene (sp?) on the lawn to keep
some heat in to aid the sowing process.


It won't retain heat - it'll retain damp and cause the seed to
rot. It's too late to sow a decent lawn in the UK now; leave it until
next spring. If you desperately need grass to cover the ground, use
turf.
