The seedlings can be killed by birds and/or 'damping off'.
The preparation of the seed bed is time-consuming.
|
The
most expensive way to get a lawn.
Sometimes the quality of the turf is poor with many weeds.
Very difficult to get a fine lawn with turf. |
The
least common method, the least 'tried and tested' method.
Very labor intensive and back-breaking work! |
