Thanks Phillipa & Steve, I haven't read all of the posts for Mr Toast but it's nice to see such helpful friendly people about, and I will be going back to the thread. I've found a website that sells slow growing grass seed so that will be perfect for my daughter.
Thank you for the information. I want to kill my grass off too; but I don't want to lay another lawn! I want to make this an evergreen Shrub bed. I am a bit dubious about using weed killer in case it would harm any shrubs I plant. I was going to buy some black liner to cover it over till spring. Would this be advisable?
Hi Everyone, I know that this is an old thread but hopefully someone will spot my post!
I have this problem, old lawn, lumps and bumps, sunken patches, etc. However I have two problems not mentioned in any of the replies. One is MOSS, which I guess may be overcome when the ground is turned over but how do I kill off the existing; will glyphosate do the job?
My other problem is ANTS; I suspect that my lawn may be one big ant city. It is a bit early to spray now; I guess I should have done it in the autumn and then when I turned it over the frost may have done for the ants. Any tips please?
