Hi
I'm just about to sow different parts of our land with grass seeds.
The area is 400 square mitres
I have a 10kg bag of grass seeds and approx 4 lbs of clover
Thank you very much. This is the first time I'm doing a lawn.

Hi Mayo
being of the old school i use imperial rather than metric buti calculated it out and the 10kg and the 4lbs together should be the right amount you may have a few handfuls left over.just be careful not to be too heavy handed when seeding. |

What type lawn are you looking for? Would it be ornamental or utility?
For the former 20-25 g/m2, 15-20 g/m2 for the latter.
Approximately. |

Hi,
We've sown the seed, we had just enough!
The garden is ornamental really, it will have light/ medium traffic and sometimes the hens will be on it lol
Thanks guys xxx |
