I need to re-seed a large area of yard, and all the DIY shops are closed. However, farm supplies are open for business with farmers. I am not a farmer, but I have neighbors that are. Could my farmer neighbor acquire grass seed during the lockdown (for which I'd reimburse him) that I could use to seed my yard? Any particular seed to recommend? We stripped the wild covering over this area a couple months back - it was pretty much thistles, blackberries, willowherb, nettles, etc.. Now, it's (still) mostly bare but the thistles are popping up, and I'd rather get something more controllable in place. Like grass. Or even some sort of cover crop like clover that the birds would eat. But it has to grow faster than the weeds and I don't want to be dosing with Roundup or whatever. Thanks for taking the time to read this post and apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Wouldn’t like having to clean that out afterwards. Interestingly he said it’ll probably be one of the last jumbos to come into Dublin because they’re getting too expensive to run.

Got back into the house around 7ish and noticed how grubby it's getting in the absence of our cleaning lady. I really miss our cleaning lady. I suppose I'll have to tackle a bit of house work tomorrow or I could go out and do something, anything on the farm There are weeds that need spraying around the yards
