stone said: 1) is there enough direct sun hitting the ground there?
Just because the supplier claims the the grass will grow in the shade... doesn't make it true!
2) do you have standing water there after it rains?
I think I'd plant bracken...
In the Deep south (America) creeping liriope is a very successful turf substitute for the shade.

Hi thanks for the reply, yes the 6 foot fence is a nuisance, but I live in a rented council house, but it's overkill lol, to answer your question yes I think it does get direct sunlight, in the morning when it's rising it does hit that area, and late afternoon it will hit that area again, is it enough I'm not sure,
Here's the mixture I bought, (Contains: 50% amenity perennial ryegrass, 32% strong creeping red fescue, 10% chewings fescue, 6% slender creeping red fescue and 2% highland bent).
Know one seemed to answer, the question that concerned me the most, when I tried to overseed, would it matter the soil was firm, and the seeds weren't strong enough to break through?
