Hello everyone,
We plan to sow grass soon. Are there any recommendations?
About 120 sqm (1300 sq ft), mostly sunny, only shaded in the evening hours. It should be a "play" lawn since our kids are still young.
Is a standard off-the-shelf seed mix from the hardware store sufficient, or what should be used?

Since we have many square meters, the decision was clearly against the sod turf.
And now I remember again: The seed should be labeled as standard seed mixture, meaning RSM. There are quite a few, for example:
RSM 1.1 Ornamental lawn
RSM 2.1 Utility lawn Standard
RSM 2.2 Utility lawn for dry conditions
RSM 2.3 Utility lawn for sports/recreational use
and many more. You select the appropriate one and then buy it. Don’t overseed! If you do, the fast-growing varieties will quickly take over and the slower ones won’t be able to grow through.
- Grass seed RSM 2.1 Standard 25 g/m² (25 grams per square meter) for 1.01 €/m² net
- Sod turf RSM 2.1 Standard, ready-to-lay turf according to DIN 18917, 6.72 €/m² net
