    Spray and plough in April/ May if that's the case. The old grasses and weeds may come up before the young grass has a chance to get established

    Youll only be planting the grass seed from mid april onwards so too soon to plough. Only february yet

    if reseeding, we hardly ever plough. Spray it off, and power harrow. Much less work picking stones as a result
