Until the roots hit the base of the glass and it was about 10 inches in height from the seed. 

Any pics?

Mine took a serious sprouting in July/August and is slowing down now.

the roots are doing great, trimmed them back a few times but not much height out of the top of the seed. Might give it another month and see if thereโ€™s anything sprouting, and then go for the soil.

Not sure why this photo is uploading sideways but ya get the idea

Make at least 7 attempts at this and they died a death
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

At he early stage, only once did they start to grow roots, but died soon after it.

Have a wet spot in the corner of my garden where even after the slightest shower it becomes waterlogged and doesnt drain away. I assume this is due to the clay having compacted. I had planned to dig the spot up and replace with gravel and sand and relay the top. Is this the best and easiest solution? Not big enough to warrant putting in drains. Any thoughts and suggestions welcome Big smile

Last year I only mowed maybe twice in the whole year, apart from edges to keep it tidy. Strimmed it a couple of times to keep under some sort of control but for the most part let it go wild. Attracted all sorts of birds and insects. But would rather replace the grass if I could

Has anyone ever planted clover? If so what type? Or did you use a mix?

Any help appreciated

You should lay down some astro grass, really makes the garden stand out beautifully in a Willy Wonka factory way. You can get some stuffed birds or plastic ones if the budget is tight. Pink pelicans are very popular.  
It would damage this forums' reputation
