Hi,
I'm looking to sow lawnseed in an area of partial shade and very sandy soil.
Does anyone have recommendations for a type of seed which suits both shade and sand?
Thanks in advance!

hello ntzjf250498 I removed plastic grass from my garden a few years ago and paid turf directly on top of the sand which had been the base under the plastic grass. The turf took really well and is lovely and lush.
I subsequently tried to seed an additional area and that has been less successful - it is slightly shadier than the other area. To be fair I didn't specifically choose a seed for shady areas - I will be focussing on it again later in the summer (too much talk of drought to be worrying about my grass at the moment!).
Good luck!1
