When is the best time to start seeding grass?
 
Between muddy paws all winter and the dog going to the toilet on it, the grass is wrecked. Its needs some TLC. I notice that the spring bulbs are just starting to shoot through, but the grass hasn't started growing yet. Do you think I should seed now or wait a few more weeks? Any othr tips on how to recover it welcome (I will rakeout and replace the soil below the toliet burn).

Its a downward spiral that, I spent a fortune trying to get the front and back lawns nice, healthy and green. Towards the end of summer they were just about there... they are covered in moss and weeds again now.

I think you can seed pretty much anytime though.

I'd sow in early april, keep the area well watered and cover the seed to stop birds eating it. It should geminate in 2 - 3 weeks

Depending on how big your garden is I would strongly recommend replacing the lawn with astroturf!!!

You just won't believe the ease of use, ease of cleaning and no need to take care off every weekend during the summer!!

It does cost but you make your life sooooooo much easier!!

A gardener I know, who also worked for the council cutting grass, always said the best time of year to sow grass seed was when it was extremely wet in Autumn. My dad always poke his garden fork in to air his lawn, throws seeds on and throws compost over the patches. His lawn is something to die for. He regularly feeds and weeds during the summer when there is a high chance of rain, so not to burn it.

Does your dad have a dog that ****s and pees on it? :)

I was like your dad up until I got a dog.......anything you do after that is a waste of effort IMO

That's a good idea, is that to keep the birds from eating all the grass seed?
