Might seem like a silly question, but I am interested in how to efficiently grow the stuff.
I have a small area of garden (about 0.5m*2m) which needs to be re-seeded and I am trying to work out when is the best time to do it.
Summer makes sense I guess since presumably grass thrives that bit better like everything else with the extra sun and warmth so it should get established reasonably quickly. Downside is that there will be a big off limits line through the middle of my lawn at the time the kids most want to play on it.
Spring also makes sense since many other things get planted in spring, and are well established by the summer. Downside is that spring is a long time away.
Autumn makes sense since I can just do the work after the garden has been abused for the summer and let it establish itself (slowly) over the Autumn and Winter. Downside is that since it will happen slowly it may well not establish at all or it may become quite weedy as the weeds grow better than the grass.
From what I have seen (but I tended not to pay too much attention to grass sowing up to now) grass will pretty much grow whenever you sow it Any grass experts out there know the best time to sow ?
