    Loads of water, wash it through.

    Thanks for the quick response. Have had the sprinkler on for an hour? Will it be ok or do I need to have an awkward chat with my partner over her new pride and joy?

    An hour isn't a lot - depending on the square footage. Keep it on  longer.
    New lawns need no feeding at all for months.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'd leave the sprinkler on overnight.  They deliver surprisingly little water.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    It might look a bit sick for a while, but it should be fine.
