Topic: Can I lay turf now?

[reddyreddy]

Or is it too cold?

I'm in Surrey so pretty blinking mild and my garden is very, very wet (clay soil?) they have it for sale at the garden centre so I was thinking it would be ok now?

Dont know as Ive never done it,but would be a bit worried that freezing winter conditions may still round the corner?

Yeah I think I would leave it for a month or so.  Grass is pretty dormant at the mo and probably wont root as well as it could..

In theory you can lay turf any time but in practice it's better to avoid hot and dry or cold and wet/ frosty. I'd wait till March if I were you.

Like early bedding... if the weather turns against you and it dies you buy some more...  :-X
