Grass seed (tough as old boots required)

Is there a particular type of grass seed available that will grow well in a heavily shaded area?

I am looking for something that will thrive under the wee ones trampoline if possible - some light gets through, but not full sun.

I'm not looking for anything too refined as my garden has two grass areas, and not lawns - don't think I will ever have lawns until I am a lot longer in the tooth, and save my pennies to re-turf!

 

Ideally, I want to move the trampoline onto the patio area of the garden, but that means moving the shed, and moving the shed will actually mean replacing it as its warped and bent out of shape, and that takes money that I don't have at the moment - maybe in a year or two.

Its a 15' diameter trampoline, which sits about 3-ft off the ground; it took the entire 'non' summer last year for the grass under it to get thin, and in fairness it was in pretty poor nick to begin with. Over winter, its been on the other side of the grass, and seems to have had no effect at all (not that the grass has really been growing much).

I will have a look and see if I can find a shady-mix at the garden centre, thanks

 

I will endeavour to post back, but might need reminding (old memory isn't what it once was - OK Fred?)

 

About what?
















Sorry, who are you again?
















Now, what did I come in here for???!?!

 

Nice ideal honeybunny, but I rent this house and have to keep it as it is, if you know what I mean; besides that, my longer term plan is to move the shed, relocate the trampoline and then free up the grass area for the wee one and the dog to run around.
