Hi,

Hope this is ok to post here.
We have just bought a new house and are making it piggie ready, including sowing a new lawn.
I am leaning towards grass seed over turf just because some green fingered family members have said it would be easier than turf. I’ll be honest, I am an inexperienced gardener to say the least!
Before I buy seed just thought I would ask if anyone has recommendations for types of grass for piggies. Are there grass mixes which are particularly good for them? Any to avoid? Are there any companies specialising in grass for pets?
Thank you in advance!
 
The right hand lawn was just soil and sand when we moved in 20 years ago, we left it and it germanated from the left hand lawn, my pigs and buns spent many happy hours in the garden. Mine is just common grass. 👍

I had my lot on the grass at my old house. It was just the grass in the garden that was there when we moved in. Unfortunately, I can't put them out on the lawn here as there are buzzards on the Heath (I'm 5 houses away) that fly over and I've had foxes in the garden. I've just started to cut grass for them every day from the lawn and when that has run out there is a never ending supply on the Heath.
