I was told NOT to cover with soil.. Just tread lightly on seed that has been added to sand..
Horticultural sand.. !!

Thank you..

I wonder if you was to see a heat wave would you wave back?

The man is ill, he really should be in some form of psychiatric establishment

I must disagree most vehemently with your claim about the cause of global warming is attributable to my koi fish. I have it on good authority from my mate Kevin who works on the bins and knows stuff that Koi do not live in the sea and therefore ipso facto ad infinitum etc, cannot contribute to rising seal levels even if they are very heavy like a whale or nuclear submarine 
So there! Consider yourself admonished amen

So any loose now are going to be survivors from the previous season or escapees from the rearing pens for next season. They do appear to be too stupid to ever survive without a load of folk with more money than sense wanting to shoot them.

I would imagine those birds that have never never been out of a pen in their life,  so couldn't possibly know anything  about cars and traffic, never having  seen them,  so  wouldn't have the inborn sense of danger like naturally wild birds would have.     

Poor things have only ever seen their own kind   squashed in a pen with them, and humans,  but no traffic, no guns, no gun dogs chasing them out of hiding.   
Then one day when they are released into a totally strange environment,  not knowing where they are, where is a safe place to go,  or probably not even able to fly,  they must be like  sitting ducks,  and very easy targets for those who like to kill  for  pleasure.

I absolutely loathe the hunting lot,  and would like to see the same happen to them in the next world.

There are lots of peasants around us who have survived the shooting season or are ready for the next one I am not sure .
They are very stupid birds and are always walking into the road when they could safely fly across.

They keep trying to blame global warming and you saw the true cause or rising ocean levels with your own eyes.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 03:00:53 PMFine graded sand... I can buy it on Amazon...
Thank you for helping me Mups...

Oh,  I didn't think of that. 
Well done. 


Just make sure it is sand for gardens though, and not builders sand.
See this I just found Scrumpts:


*   Use horticultural silver sand or fine sharp sand to sow grass seeds. These are lime-free, washed, and weed-free. Avoid builder's sand (which may contain cement) and beach sand (which contains salt). Sand alone has no nutrients, so mix 1 part sand with 3 parts topsoil to cover seeds and lock in moisture.
