Default Establishing a lawn


"~Ellie~" wrote in message

Hi! I've decided to start working on our garden... at the moment it's a
big bare block of dirt, with weeds starting to rear their nasty little
heads everywhere.

I'm attempting to grow a blue couch lawn from seed, one section at a
time, due to financial constraints.

I have just one question to begin with, but I'm sure many more will
follow

Can I use grey water (washing machine, shower) to water the lawn as it
germinates, or will there be too much phospherous, etc in the water? It
has already got a lawn starter fertiliser on the soil.

Thanks in advance for any replies!


Do you need a lawn for small children to play on? You could save much
water, expense and work by not having a lawn. There are alternatives.
