Who knows about lawns?
My garden is really muddy in the winter, then baked solid in the summer. I think it's clay - I've heard it described as 'London soil', but I don't know what that is. A lawn / turf will not grow there.
I know that the way to make the grass grow is to remove 6 inches of soil, and replace it with new topsoil. I cannot do this, terrraced house, no way to carry it out etc.
Will rotovating it to death before laying grass help? If I mix some sand in (I can carry this through the house in bags) aid? Any help much appreciated
