Re: Gardeners


I used what they call Park grass up here, its the seed the farmers use for the fields, you can also get canada green, or velvet green it grows very quickly......

Re: Gardeners


Mmm, one with rye grass I think.
But if you go to a garden centre or nurseryman you will find there are a lot of different mixes around, for various uses and situations. You could ask what they recommend. I think there's one with Canada in the name which is meant to survive all sorts of pet/child/football abuse.
Good luck!

Re: Gardeners


I must say we have no grass now. Have paving, decking and gravel with stepping stones, plus things in pots and a couple of large planters, so it doesn't look 'bleak'. I love it. No constant work, no muddy footprints and the cats and the staffie can have fun there any time, even if it's raining.
