Hello everyone,
This weekend, my plot will be covered with 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) of topsoil and leveled.
I’ve been reading more and more that seeding should only be done when nighttime temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). That means I would have to wait until the end of April.
My question is, since I cannot change the schedule:
How long can the topsoil be left like this before weeds start to spread?
Is it okay to wait a month without having to go after weeds with a rake afterwards, or should I just start immediately with rolling and seeding?
Best regards,
Mateo

A 5-ton machine levels everything smoothly up to the height of my lawn edges near the paving.
The soil comes from the farmer who has a large screening plant.
Then I’ll have him leave a pile of soil, which I’ll loosen and spread around with a shovel and rake.
I’m from the north, so it’s usually a lot of rain and around 5°C (41°F) at night.
