That shouldn’t be too much to ask for in Manchester. It’s overcast, after all.
I’ve sowed grass seed, raked it in, watered it and raked it in again, but what I really need is a good shower to really wett the ground and set the seeds off. (Oh, and more grass seed, I only got half the area covered. I may have been heavy handed.)
Attach hosepipe to tap, turn on tap, drench soil thoroughly every other evening for about a month, that should give you a decent lawn for July. You won’t get the amount of water you need to establish the lawn from just rain…
you also need a very good bird scarer … but you 3 should be ok with out visits from me 8-p
If only we had a hose, or a tap we could attach it to. We’ll have to make do with the watering cans. 🙁
