That looks lovely mate. Was it quite expensive? I've never done turf before and was surprised to see it just gets laid onto dry earth. I always thought you would need to at least lightly damp the earth it was going to sit on first, but hey if you don't it would make it a cleaner job I suppose. Great stuff though, can't wait to see it in your own garden

It's disappointing that for such an expensive mower Bosch are still using cheap plastic instead of a steel base. I've had Bosch mowers and, trust me, as soon as you scrape the base, or catch it on anything hard, it cracks or falls apart very easily. If they were £150 I could understand. But for the steep price, I would always go for a steel base mower, hands down

Can’t wait to see this new turf…. I’ve over seeded mine twice now about a month apart with a bent fescue mix, aiming to over ride the rye. Have to say the weather has been very much on my side, and my lawn is looking amazing this year at this time, it wasn’t as bad as your bottom lawn but not far off the top one… could of cried for the amount of effort put in over the last 2 seasons… A lawn that regenerates itself has got to be good 👍

How many times a day are you watering the bent fescue lawn? I have been doing 3 times a day ( 9am, 1pm & 5-6pm)for 3,5 weeks. I took the fleece of a week ago but this morning noticed a sudden infestation of fusarium after a couple of misty nights. I should have held off watering for more germination until the damp nights passed . i have full even coverage at least. hopefully only a few area die off and i can reseed. I'm only watering in the morning once a day for this week before focusing on just the bare areas from die off which I guess ill reduce that to once a day to prevent further issues.
