Was wondering if anyone knew anything about when the beat time to harvest grass seed is, I don't see the point in buying in loads of seed when there's loads of seed around just wanted to know when's the best time and how to tell, cheers, joe

Cheers everyone, will get on the case right away.

I have just got back home to cornwall after 6 months away and need to make some beds to grow some food for this summer. I have lots of grass but want to make lots more beds. I have heard a bit of the techniques where you put cardboard carpet or whatever on the grass then load on top with compost manure and the like then in a few months its ready.

However is there way in which I can start planting within the next few days? We have lots of manure from horses well composted.

Cheers for any help.

Joe.

I live in bude, Cornwall SW England.
We have a few acres and we have a couple of horses.
Our problem is that creeping buttercup takes over in the summer and the horses will not eat buttercups I have heard they are poisonous to most grazers, so I'm looking for a permaculture approaxh to get rid of the buttercups without the traditional method of plowing and liming the fields.

Would appreciate and experience or help.
