    Conditioning soil after conifers

    The Rhododendrons probably wouldn't survive there Damski. I'm not sure of the nutrients in cow manure. Perhaps you could post this question in the 'Compost and Fertiliser' forum for answers. :)

    Laying a new lawn on soil with rubble

    Seed will win every time, you can select the right seed mixture for your situation. Turf you get a limited choice, it's main advantage is obviously being much quicker.

    Did you put growmore under the turf? This would have helped it knitt into the ground better and fast. Depending on temp it can take upto 3 months to root properly

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner Jenni. :) It's always difficult to get anything to grow in the shade of a tree and the roots will draw moisture and nutrients from the soil.
