Establishing a lawn
I live on the far South Coast of NSW on a steep block and want to
establish a small lawn on a site I have built up by up to 800mm to level it. I have filled the base with reject cement blocks and plan to buy some topsoil. Some questions: 1. Is a soil depth of 300 mm enough to retain moisture, given the excellent drainage? 2. Is there anything I can add to the soil to help improved moisture retention? 3. As I want a low mow, slow grow, low water lawn, I wonder if there are native grasses which may be suitable? TIA David |

I knew I shouldn't have thrown away my Australian Plants Society magazines -- they were just talking about one. Drat! Maybe the local APS group would be able to help you. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."
