      The ideal sowing times are:

      • Spring (Late March to May): Ideal for sowing, thanks to warming soil and regular rainfall, which aids in germination and growth. Sow after the frost risk has passed and when the soil temperature is consistently above 8-10°C (46-50°F).
      • Autumn (Late August to September): Beneficial for sowing due to the warm soil and frequent rainfall. This period typically sees fewer weeds, but it's important to sow early enough for the grass to establish before winter.
