• Depends on the weather gods.. I'm in Scotland and scattered some grass seed and compost a couple of weeks ago. We've had unseasonable warm weather with a little rain so it all worked out. It's gardening so patience is always a virtue. Lawncare is a thankless task as you're essentially trying to create a mono culture.

    Edit to add.. the pistonheads lawn threads are a fount of knowledge.

  • Wow, that lawn thread is amazing!
    Spent far too long reading it.

  • Ha, the 'My wife' in that guardian article is someone I know.

  • Is it a thin layer of compost, or a couple of inches deep? I find gardening tips a bit like diy tips "Mix it to the right consistency, not too thin, not too thick". Once you know it seems easy, but if you are not confident, it's a nightmare.
