Default Anyone willing to donate some turf?

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


Grass must be greening up nicely at this time of year.

According to your website you've already spent over £3,000 on materials
for the garden and you have a list of further items you would like other
people to donate, each item specified with its cost, furniture, lights and
parasol etc; the "donations" request list amounts to close to a further
£2000. Making a total of £4,871.04.

The good news is that being unemployed, you have plenty of time to rake
stones and prepare your very tiny lawn, and hand water it after seeding.
So go forth, and cast your seed upon the ground.

Hi Janet,

There's a lot of things to buy in order to finish the project 100% but I'm
not holding my breath on those donations... but you never know.

I do have the time but not the money, which is very frustrating as I'm only
about £300 away from finishing the first phase (P1: Building, P2: Planting,
P3: Furnishing). I just need to get the lawn sorted, skip away the excess
soil then gravel the area between the decking and the beds/patio.
