Right now it's just a bare lot but I am going to topsoil and seed it and I am afraid the pigeons are just going to eat all the grass seed before it has a chance! Is there anything I can do to keep them away? Quote \| Reply \| Report

Please do not be upset with our weird sense of humor. Honestly I can't think of a thing at the moment. Surely some one here will come up with something.

Hold the corners down with nails. Keep it wet, it will keep the seed wet and it actually acts like a green house. Germination takes place quickly and you can tell when it is time to remove the sheet as it gets pushed up by the new grass. Best of luck. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Thanks, I think I might do that. The fishing lines a good idea too so I may try a bit of both.Thanks. Quote \| Reply \| Report
