Chid 6,519 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Right thats it seeded... just water it every day and keep dogs off it best i can, right? Wouldn't water it unless the ground got real dry , in 10 days you should start seeing the grass coming through Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trigger2 3,145 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Since you all said it was easy thought id give it a go. Was easier than i thought... but still a tw@t of a job... am i ready to throw some seeds down or do i need to remove all the green bits? It diesnt matter about the edges as i will dig a border round you can seed that without removing all the green bits mate depends how fussy you want to be with removing the dead weeds on top and how nice a lawn you want after. bet your glad you didnt say yes to the quote of £300 notes to do the job for you as it was easy enough to do yourself.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 getting there... shud of turfed the other side aswell instead of seeding can i jurt turf over the seed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yer, if it's any quicker for ya RH, turf over the seed. Just keep that turf well watered daily and keep off it for about 3 weeks. Turf is better laid in Spring and Autumn, when its wetter, so keep fecking watering. It's starting to take shape, well done, keep at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
