Where to buy Grass Seed

Post by Big Boy »

Can anybody please tell me where in hua Hin I could buy Grass Seed? Not for me (don't do gardening), but have a friend in need.

The types of grass here (bermuda, zoysia or cow grass) have to be sprigged or sodded. Quickest way to get a lawn is to buy cut sod. Can order it from some Hua Hin garden centres. Can buy it up near the road at Ban Bua Tong, just west of Bangkok. When you lay the sod, you must keep it damp for a couple of weeks to allow the roots to grow down.

BB, I've never seed this for sale here before. As has been mentioned, it seems you have to buy the square bits of sod which many garden centers sell. They'll also come and lay it for you for a small fee.

Friends bought the turf and had it laid. They are now hoping to repair a bit of damage that resulted.

All they need to do then, is buy a few turfs and make the repairs.

Perhaps in the last year and a half since the last post on this topic someone has found where to buy grass seed. I've bought and used the sod pieces, but I have some extremely small areas and areas where the grass is very thin that I'd like to use seed on. Has anyone found where to buy grass seed ? Also, where is the best place to by granules of lawn fertilizer in semi-bulk quantities ?

Where the grass is very thin you can put down some good quality black soil,it will repair itself.If you use seed you need to cover it with some saw dust or similar because when it sprouts and the sun hits it for just a little while the roots will dry up and you new grass will never grow.It may also be that the thin patches receive either too much or not enough sun.
We have a two different kinds of grass and it seems to figure out by itself how and where to grow.
Fertilizer can be found in most shops where they sell animal feed or farm supplies.We use dry cow manure because it will not burn the lawn and we try to grow everything here without using chemicals.

I would suggest that you go to the small garden center just past the palace, on the same side, heading into the town. The young owner speaks perfect English (went to uni in the USA). I am not sure regarding the grass seed but he ordered 56kg of lawn and garden fertelizer for me. Usually you can not buy in these quantities as we all know what fertilizers can be used for when in the wrong hands.

Has anybody found where to buy grass seed ? I know about and have used the sod method of laying or repairing a lawn, but I’d really like to experiment with seed for repairing some of the smaller areas.

The plant shops at Chatachak market sell grass seed. Outside the market, across street. Just find the stretch of road with tons on flower and plant shops.
