grass for lawn bowls
I hope someone can give some helpful advice on this :-)
I am buying a house (hope to be moved in before December) with a hopelessly overgrown garden some distance from it. We are toying with the idea of laying it to lawn to use as a bowling green. Does anyone have any advice on the best method, whether to seed or buy sods, or whatever? If possible, we'd like to be playing on it some time next summer. If necessary, replace "nospam.please" when replying -- Dave Atkinson E-Mail : WWW : http://www.kynson.org.uk icq : 43284545 |

But to get it perfectly flat will take a great deal of preparation before you start to lay seed or turf. Then it will take several seasons of care and rolling. You have no chance of getting a lawn suitable for playing bowls by next summer. - Arthur |

Thanks for the replies. I thought we'd be pushing it to play on it next
summer. The Boules idea is an interesting one, and we'll think about it, but I think our preference will still be to go the bowls route. If necessary, replace "nospam.please" when replying -- Dave Atkinson E-Mail : WWW : http://www.kynson.org.uk icq : 43284545 |

Our friends that have the boule ?court live in Kent and they belong to a local league and some of the French teams come over. Just another excuse for a p..s up I think. K |

The message
from Dave Atkinson contains these words: Thanks for the replies. I thought we'd be pushing it to play on it next summer. The Boules idea is an interesting one, and we'll think about it, but I think our preference will still be to go the bowls route. Pukka, what? You can make a pétanque pit on any old bit of ground which is unattractive from the horticultural point of view. -- Rusty Hinge horrid·squeak&zetnet·co·uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm |
