how late in the season is safe to lay turf, without running the risk of loosig it

A film for this topic is in the pipeline, once we can actually lay our hands on some turf and the weather decides to treat us well. In the meantime, here is the advice it will include: Make sure you obtain a good quality turf from your supplier, which has been raised from seed. For most family gardens, a hard-wearing grass such as dwarf perrinial ryegrass is appropriate, which is very easy to look after. It will require weekly mowing in the growing season. Lay your turf as quickly as possible after delivery, and in the meantime store in the shade and sprinkle with water. Turf can be laid from early autumn all the way through to late spring. The turf will take well to moist soil, so autumn planting has the advantage of the forthcoming winter rain. Spring laying is appropriate, but remember to water the lawn often, and beware of hosepipe bans. The techniques are the same for any size area. Dig the entire area thoroughly, skimming off any old grass and removing any debris such as large stones and weeds. If possible, leave to settle for a week. Rake over the area to make it level, then firm it over by pushing down on your rakes flat side with your heel. Repeat this process until you are satisfied the soil is flat and firm. Scatter some general fertiliser, gently rake in, and then water well. Avoid upsetting the soil by standing on two short planks to spread the weight. Lay the first row of turves along a straight edge, unrolling them gently. Butt each one firmly up against the other. Place the planks onto the turf and stand on them, firming your new lawn with the soil. Lay the second row close up against the first, staggering the turves joints like bricks in a wall, repeating the entire process until the area is covered. When laying the turf, ensure it over hangs the lawns border slightly. Once all the turf is in place, trim the edges using the planks as a guide to a straight line. Cut using a half moon cutting tool, or even an old kitchen knife. Once trimmed, place hand fulls of soil under the turf edges to prevent it drying out. If possible, set up a sprinkler system, or simply water your new lawn with a hose every 2-3 days, depending on the weather. Try to avoid walking on the turf for the first few weeks until it has had a chance to take root. I hope you find this helpful Thank you Sam at VideoJug
