chocchick Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm really proud of my new mini lawn, although sad to create a blog of it growing. We sectioned off part of the chicken area to grow back some grass. We chose strong "utility" grass seed and now have some really nice lawn, although it has patches. It is Trinny's mision to escape into it and eat the grass but luckily it can withstand some munching now. http://lawn.blog.urbanchicken.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The bald bits on my lawn where the Eglu's were have now got green bumfluff in patches. I hope it grows to be like Chocchick's lawn. It's a bit pathetic at the mo. I sowed (grammar??) the seeds about a month ago I think. A cheeky blackbird keeps digging around even though I've strung cd's everywhere. I knew the Gary Glitter Compilation would come in handy one day. It has kept the pigeons away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 The rain really helped. This time last month my grass was patches of fluff. We dug up all the ground and prepared it following all the instructions on the packet. Apparently Autumn is best for growing grass, and we were slightly late in growing when we did.

Lesley Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 It's looking far better than the area I re-seeded CC - I think I need more grass seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 the chickens are really good with our grass (no damage) but its the dog that does the damage with her wee-ing on it all the time and turning it brown. Any cures for this anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Chelsea, the only way is to dilute it with a bucket of water after each time see goes....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 thanks that was a very swift reply Christian! I'd hoped there would have been something I could put on the existing patches to make them grow back..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
