Preparation for lawn
I have a large back garden (60 X 30yds), which I wish to put to grass, not
Wimbledon you understand, just fairly flat grass that I can cut with a sit-on mower (don't tell herself that bit just yet). I sprayed the whole lot late last year, with Glyfos, managed to kill all the grass and weeds but the moss thrived on it, really nice and green..! I have rotivated and tilled it now, it is relatively flat, so soon I guess I should consider seeding it. Could anyone be kind enough to answer the following questions...? a. I plan to give it another good spray to kill off any dormant weeds, what should I use to ensure that the moss gets the good news as well? b. When should I sow, and do I need to do anything else before that? c. What grass seed should I use, bearing in mind I live in Southern Scotland. Something slow growing and hardy would be ideal, and where should I purchase such seeds? d. How do I stop the pheasants/local bird population from having a feast on the seed? As you can tell I am a novice at this gardening lark, so any help would be greatly appreciated. John |
