Just visited that local DIY garden centre. They have Artificial Grass seed on special offer, £1.99 per kilo. Best offer I've seen around.

I've got some bald patches on my lawn but the packet says best before 1st April. Does it really matter that it's sown to the day I wonder?

    It didn't say which April 1st so I guess it could be next year, or the year after, Keith!

    You could always plant it on top the white cliffs of Dover, it might green up the grass a bit. Daily Express's attempt "Painting the White Cliffs"

    Nobody understands the concept of "artificial seed" in the sentence.  As it will not growHappy

    I found the best way to sow these seeds is to start them off in seed trays on the window sill. When big enough to handle (about 2") transplant the grass plants to their final posistion.

    Cover with a poly tunnel and keep well watered.
