Lovely. What is your soil like, if you know, is it dry or wet loamy,
chalky, heavy clay ...is it shaded? It all make a difference because
if you choose the wrong seeds, they simply won't come up and you'll be
disapointed. It's important to know if your area is neutral, chalky or
acid. What is there now at the moment? The paved area, is it a car
area, concrete, tarmac, slabs? It's funny that you've said 2ft and
then 8 metres (you can't mix measurements like that!!) - you'll need
about 2gr of seeds per sqm. For 8 metres, incorporating grasses would
be nice. And if you want to do this, do it from now until March/April
but no later.
