seeding a lawn
Hopefully you've done this, but you should consider why your lawn needs
reseeding first. Correct any drainage problems, compacted soil etc. before starting otherwise next year, you'll be back to square one. If you have a dog then the lawn is already in trouble. I've never seen a lawn yet that looked anything other than ragged with dogs around (except perhaps for the chihuahua/huge meadow combination which has some hope ;-) ). As to seeds, I've used rye grass mix on my own lawn to withstand my children. Bits of it are still very brown in the current weather but I garden organic and I'm not wasting gallons of water on it. If you don't mind it, clover works well in a lawn and certainly seems to help keep it looking nice and green. Finally, preparation, preparation, preparation! Dig, rake, settle etc. etc. And get out all those stones before the first lawn-moving throws one through the shed window - or is that just me? Paul DS. "manxman" wrote in message om...

I've never seen a lawn yet that looked anything other than ragged with dogs around (except perhaps for the chihuahua/huge meadow combination which has some hope ;-) ). My mother's had some success by watching the paths the dogs usually use around the garden, and getting them paved. Her dogs have 3 or 4 places where they like to rush up and down, stand to watch if anyone is coming to the house, or wait by the door hoping for a walk - the rest gets a lot less wear. All those areas now have paved paths, and so far this seems to be working. Mind you, she does walk them at least three times a day, every day, which also helps! Victoria |
