    It'll be fine. Don't let it run your life - it's just grass  ;)
     
    It hasn't been very well laid I'm afraid, which is why there are gaps, but it'll get better, as long as the underlying base has been well enough prepped, and it drains reasonably well.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Haha nah it's a primal thing

    MAN

    GRASS

    I think it probably is under watered and that's why the gaps have appeared, as I butted them right up against each other

    Nighty night!

  • Ok update

    Few weeks down the line, where I have put down 3 boxes of grass seed (which I know is too much for the size of my lawn, c 30m squared) and 2 different feeds

    As you can see from the pics, there are some bits now which are absolutely  lush and what I was hoping the whole thing would look like

    But why is it only growing in patches??

    What should I be doing differently?

    Thanks

  • Sorry for the bump, but anyone?

    It's probably inconsistencies in how you applied feed... there's really no need to feed to be honest ... just be patient and leave it alone - apart from watering and mowing obviously.

  • Thank you

    Ultimately, is 7 weeks with no summer yet still really young for a new lawn and will be developing?

    Apart from the dark patches its looking pretty good to be honest. You have got it established which is the main thing. Just leave it be, no one' else's lawn is looking uniformly dark green and lush after months of drought.
