To recap, I have a very very shady area in my garden right down in the corner, about 3m x 3m which I want to be lawn I was going to turf but as it's so shady I think it might just die.
Can anyone give me advice on either; what to put down to best prep the soil and give the turf a fighting chance in such a shady spot or would I be better off seeding with a shade tolerant variety?
I'm not concerned about the cost implications as it's only 3m square. I want it to be a secret hideaway bit fo the garden for my children so need pretty instant results (I know they'll need to keep off the turf for a bit, but not as long as if it were seeded).
Also, any idea for climbers in that spot (shaded) along a fence so it's pretty there for them (they're girls!)
Cheers!!! ;D
