Born Hunter 17,751 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Everybody seems to turf these days, is there any reason why you can't seed a patch like that? My back yard resembles that and I need to get it grassed over the next few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,045 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Our front garden was was a mas of cottage garden plants and flowers when we moved in 10 year ago,,, no way did I know how to look after them ,,, and after 6 month it looked like a jungle,,,, strimed everything down,, got a turf bloke in for a quote,,, feck that a thought .... Just left it,, kept mowing and after about 6 month it was all grass,, as if by majic didn't put any seed down,,, just reseeded its self from the bits of grass that were already there.. With that mess of rabbit hunters,, it just needs levelling then seeding,,, you want to pull ya finger out ya lazy fecker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My back yard resembles that and I need to get it grassed over the next few weeks. Reason to turf is its instant ,job done and not that expensive ....seeding you got agg with birds takes longer and might be patchy.....turf all the way for me.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 320 rolls of Turf when I layed this. Took me 3 days and afterwards my Hamstrings were about 4" long. I could hardly walk. Doesn't look like this now though. Pi*s burns and holes everywhere. Needs top dressing and new seed. Not while we've got the dogs though. Turf all the way for me.
