ok so we moved to a place with a garden and I’m certainly no charlie dimock so.
I need to re-sew the lawn how long does it take for the grass to re-grow and is it easy to do…
Chunky will be along in a minute mate, giving his Chunky tip of the day. I’m shaw sowing is one of his many talents :D:)
don’t you mean “sewing”, 
Best time if I remember is around March or Sept time, but the DIY store do have a good range of grass for different usage and times of year!!
Would it be easier & quicker to re-turf it? Turfs pretty cheap & you’ll have instant grass 
If you need to get the ground flat 1st, give Chunks a shout he’ll come round and have a roll about 
It probably would, but to be honest I really don’t have the money, it needs to be all fenced as well which is going to cost me a pretty penny and a bag of grass seed is only £20 compared to the £100(ish) figure it will cost me to re-turf it.
sell the bike and you’ll have enough money for turf.
Tried reseeding some grass in my old place, evntually it worked but took about 6/9 months to really take hold. Turf would be a much better way of doing it, even at the increased cost…
Sorry did someone say something… just for a second I thought someone said sell the bike!!!
damn this hot weather.
I heard Terry-Moto is a dab hand at Uphill Gardening and would be only too pleased to bend over for a bit of dibbing action:)
Told your Mrs not to say anything, mind you she doz love the 9hole over Denham golf club :D:)
She did mention you were decidedly under par mate. not much of a swing either;)
Feck me mate she told you that I took her swinging aswell 
Hope she aint mentioned the Dogging, 3 at a time in the back of me transit, gets a bit embaressing when they ask me to let em out :D:)Sorry to go off subject Sleeper ;)
Only draw back with seeding is you will be feeding every pidgeon in London.
If the ground is compact you would be advised to try to break up the surface a little to give grass a good start. if you dont it will grow on the bare earth with plenty of water, but will not be as vigorous.
In all honesty, if you lay turf the ground preperation will be twice as much work, ideally you would want to weedkiller the old grass and leave until dead, then rotovate, flatten and roll to a reasonably firm base. If you dont do this your turf will just sit on the old surface and take years to bind with it, and until it puts root into the ground its always going to be short of water.
I must have a dirty mind reading the title to this thread as i was thinking on something than gardening.
Turfed the front garden (top quality turf, professionally laid) and seeded the back. The quality of the back garden is far superior.
Both are a pain. Preparation for Turf is tough work, so unless you need to re-level the ground (as I did) I’d opt for seed BUT, as previously mentioned, any time some passing flock of birds gets the munchies, your garden will turn into the local snack bar.
I was instructed to string bits of silver foil and noisy things across the seeded lawn, which I think every local bird found very amusing as they picked and pecked their way around them!
There are lots of different types of grass for different uses so talk to the place you buy the seeds from. There are also incredibly fast growing varieties.
Just remember that you don’t have to mow green concrete or the new home garden astro-turf (which I think I’d go for now!)
I could give you about 2,000 words on relative merits, preparation, sowing/turfing, aftercare, post care, mowing and much, much more. That’s 2,000 on each of the above. But I aint going to.
Either go to the local library and borrow a book or read the back of the seed box in your local garden centre, please, before this become another post for bloody Gardners World.
Or you could do what a mate of mine did, who lost the will to live having done all of the above about this time of the year…
Buy a bloody great bag of cheap seed. Throw it around every night for about a fortnight and water it in each time.
Result? Looked like the Serengetti after the rains. Had to buy a new lawnmower by September.
