'species rich' turf to lay in our garden to be played on by kids but also to cater to bees etc better than our gravel pit currently does. Anyone got any experience with it?
Ours isn't a specific "species rich", but we've got clover, buttercups and daisy. It looks nice in between cuts this time of year when you cut it medium-long. However, if you've got kids I'd suggest buying something specifically hard wearing.
We have shitloads of bees. None of them bother with the lawn, they collect from the flowers. Personally I'm sceptical that you can have a cut lawn that kids play on which will do much for bees. If that's your priority, get flowers in your beds - poppy, chives, roses, forgetmenots, all see a tonne of action in our garden.
(Obviously if you just like the look of a species rich law, then go for it)

Moved some gravel and patio yesterday. This morning I feel like I rode the trail centre on a rigid single speed. Ugh.
In other news is this the place to ask about lawns? I'm looking at getting 'species rich' turf to lay in our garden to be played on by kids but also to cater to bees etc better than our gravel pit currently does. Anyone got any experience with it?
