About this deal

Spreaders Spreaders are a great way to evenly distribute seed and fertiliser. A variety of different types are available.’ Overall. I have to say that this is a well-priced grass seed that works well for gardens that are overshadowed by trees or the neighbouring buildings. It does take some time to get established, but grows well in the end and produces a nice, soft lawn that can be cut down fairly short. Pros Best all-rounder: Miracle-Gro grass seed If you want a bit of an all round grass seed that’s good for most situations this is a good shout. Help understanding the best grass seed for your lawn It does have some shade tolerance due to the meadow grass in the mix, but if your lawn really suffers from shade you may wish to blend it with one of our specialised shade mixtures.

Thanks Matt. Would this approach still work for existing lawns? I’m in a new build (moved in during December) and the garden lawn they have laid is really squishy underfoot. It’s a very clay soil area so trying to gauge the best approach. Warning: if worked or walked on when wet they lose their structure, and become puddled and compacted. Remedying this is slow and laborious; sodamage should be avoided at all costs. Seeds and Spades is an independent, advertising-financed publisher and comparison service.

With GBW grass seed, that’s exactly what you get. The dwarf amenity ryegrass gives you an overall tough base that can handle shade and bad weather, and give weeds a hard time too. Red fescue and chewings fescue seeds are in there to help get those roots established, spread to bare patches, and cope with drought. Then there’s the brown top bent that will provide the softness and colour of a bowling green.

Tall Fescue is a cool-season grass that has excellent tolerance to heavy clay soils. It has deep roots, which help it withstand drought conditions, and it has good wear tolerance. Tall Fescue is known for its adaptability and ability to grow in a wide range of soil types. A lot of first-time lawn seeders run into problems and often they can’t work out what exactly that problem is. The most common things that people do wrong are sowing seed when the weather is too cold, not protecting their newly sown seed from foot traffic, birds, and excitable pets, and trying to grow the wrong kind of grass for their soil type. Browntop Bent isn’t as commonly found in hardwearing grass seed mixes, but it can make be included because it helps make lawns fine and soft. A small percentage of Browntop Bent, such as the 5% found in the GBW 1 kg Grass Seed, will add some finer, short grass to your lawn. It’s ideal for busy lawns that get used as a football or have kids and pets running all over it (how very dare they!)Today is sept 21st, I have been adding a mix of top soil & sand to level my lawn for the last week & been aerating also. From the recent rain we have had some parts are getting a little boggy due to the clay soil. For clay soil, you need either pure perennial ryegrass, or a mix that has a high percentage of ryegrass in it, and that’s why I recommend this stuff from The Grass People. Available in either 10kg or 20kg amounts for very reasonable prices, the combination of 80% perennial ryegrass and 20% creeping red fescue is just the stuff you need to handle those soil conditions. When dealing with clay soil, it's important to choose grass seed varieties that are well-suited to these conditions. Here are a few grass seed options that tend to perform well in clay soils. By the sounds of it, you may need our Steadfast: Ultra Shade mix to blend with the clay mix if it is always in shade, as the Ultra shade mix is for areas that receive little to no light. Steadfast: Ultra Shade contains a super species called Poa Supina which is exceptionally shade tolerant.
