North Facing Lawn
Hi,
I have a lawn that is North facing and gets no sun during the winter months. Its very damp and and I even get the odd mushroom growing. The grass gets very patchy and thin during these months and I usualy have to re-seed parts of it during April / May to ensure a good lawn for the new season. Is there anything I can do to help stop this happening. |

Silly-nilly. Cut the lawn into sod units. Turn them all 180 degrees. Now
all faces south. -- Dave Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago. More profound is we made it to the top of the food chain per our reasoning abilities. Most profound is the denial of why we may be on the way out. "Astraman999" wrote in message ...

My bad. All lawns are omnidirectional. Sorry, I can't speak English. Only
the language native to USA which is more defining when making interrogatives.. Thanks. -- Dave Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago.

You will need to move your house or at the least, arrange a bunch of mirrors to bend the sun around the house so that it will hit the grass. Good luck! |

There was me thinking this was a gardening help forum not a place for childish jokes.
I'm off to join another forum that can offer sensible advice. |

You could consider planting ground covers such as myrtle, pachysandra, english ivy etc, instead of grass. |
