    Yes seed is easy, just keep it well watered. You don't see anything for about 2 weeks then suddenly - hey presto!

    I suspect it's dead because of the shade and the dryness of the lawn at the edge of the stones. Try and keep it watered well, get a seed that's designed for shade. When you cut the grass don't strim these edges too short.

    Thank.

    Its dead because i had a load of overgrown shrubs and conifers when we moved in. I have dug them all out. The border edge is new so need to tidy grass up now.

    Thanks again
