Sowing grass on stony ground (ex path)
I have an ex path - it had almost naturalised to weeds/creeping grasses
but i've dug it up now, raked off about 4 inches of stone chips and what i'm left with is still very stony - to stony to get a fork in. Where I've dug further into the ground there is a base of larger stones (maybe 4" to 6" in diameter). Ideally I want this path to merge with my lawn. I was planning to lay about 4" topsoil on top on the ground as it is and seed that - it would be too much (manual) work to get all the larger stones out. When I say lawn I'm not looking for a carpet I'm not averse to clover (for the bees) and daisies (for the kids) - I'm just looking for tough grass which will extend my lawn right to the fence and do away with the path which was impossible to maintain (just chips laid on soil - not by me) .... or should I forget about the grass and redo the path properly. (But its not the most appealing just a straight line running the length of my garden.) |
