Hi all,

I think that I've missed the boat regards sowing a new lawn from seed and
to
be honest, I would prefer to lay turf.... but.... being currently

means that I don't have the funds to buy turf.

Seed's better - sow it now. It's been way too dry until now and you'll
have grass in a couple of weeks if the weather stays like this.

Hi Rod,

Here's the rub... The ground where the lawn is going to be is still very
stony and needs a layer of topsoil (turf wouldn't), but due to lack of
funds, I can't afford said topsoil. So, with this in mind I decided to buy a
sieve and use it to remove the stones from the excavated soil... but... the
current damp weather has made the soil impossible to sieve!
