You need consistent temperatures of 8-10 degrees Celsius for a few weeks for good germination. No idea on best grass seed, but I'm sure a good garden centre would be able to advise you on that

Answer 10

I’ve always used pony paddock expensive but quick as lightning and even provides you water every night for 2 weeks

Answer 11

Whatever you use do not go for anything that is labelled quick growing. it grows quickly not just when establishing but forever and therfore requires more mowing.  

Answer 12

Just check what area you need it for as some areas may require grass that can tolerate shade better than others and lessens the chance of moss developing.

Comments

@jocular39 what’s the blue powder? Interesting

Answer 22

It depends what you use your garden for. I have kids so i needed something hardwearing for mine. I re-seeded last march using seeds from the grass seed store (gss) online. They are also good at giving information as to what seed/grass will be best for your garden.  

Answer 23

I've used Poundland seed! We've grown two successful lawns from it and had absolutely no issues

Answer 24

The green one lol

Answer 25

The one that's free

Answer 26

I used a 79p one from home bargains last year and my grass came up so green and bright!  

Answer 27

Depends whos going to be using it. A good percentage of rye grass is great for kids and dogs as its tougher than fine grass often used for just to look at lawns! X

Frenchie might make mud pies and scorch it if its a girl dog, but theyre unlikely to totally trash it! My Golden Retriever digs big holes in mine! X
