Hi all,

Ok where to start..


You haven't actually told us what sort of seeds you want to sow ;-)

Are you after covering the whole garden with a lawn? Or do you want to
sow flowers or vegetables? Or is your main aim to get it looking tidy
and needing as little maintenance as possible?


And when responding to Kay's questions, could you also say:

1) Where you are in the UK (that makes a difference)
2) What type of soil do you have (have a look at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/htbg/...types1.shtml)?
3) Is the ground covered with weeds now or is it fairly clear?
4) Does the garden get a lot of sun or is it shaded for a lot of the
day?
5) If you want to sow a lawn, what sort of use will it get (kids
playing football all day is different from the occasional deck
chair!)?



Cheers, Jake
