1PM, and 4PM should do it. When you start mowing, mow it at the highest setting
your mower has, and water and fertilize as needed. Over time, the gras spreads
by sending roots underground and sending up new shoots, so it will fill in over
time if you keep it growing.

Thanks, I'll try this, was warned about over seeding and yet those parts turned out beautifully. I'm on holiday for a month so I can take the time to do this now.
Trader4 I confused about the Canadian grass comment, where did I say that? I used a mixture containing rye grass seeds that would be hard wearing and suitable for shade. I'm in the UK, I searched specifically for a UK forum and thought this was one.
