New lawn preparation
I have an area of about 200 sq ft that used to be a bramble forest. I
cleared it last summer and by a lot of fires, glyphosate and digging bramble crowns, it's now bare earth. This evening, I spread poultry manure pellets and started forking over to a depth of about 3/4 spit. The surface has quite a crust and I have lots of lumps several inches across. This doesn't look good for sowing grass seed in autumn. Will the lumps break down - should I leave winter frosts to do the job? Also, what's the cheap time of year to buy a small lawn mower? Other data: Soil type: Sandy and alkaline Site: Shaded in winter, part shaded in summer. Drains well, slight slope Desired lawn: light traffic, medium quality Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com |
