That pack of seeds would be ideal so long as you grow them as normal pot plants and then when large enough transplant in there final position.

These people are great and have different mixes for different soil types, if still in stock. Also sell plug plants in case you wanted to give a head start. https://www.naturescape.co.uk/

I’m just looking to chuck he seed about with the grass seed and Harrow it in and roll and hope for the best.i think we will have patches rather than do the whole area due to cost and quantity.
