    Hey, i know absolutely nothing about gardening and i wouldn't be attempting this for years, but i'd like to know if it would work.

    Basically, i have this fun idea of in a big garden, having a little section of furniture - maybe an armchair and sofa for example - made from grass. I'm just curious if this would be possible. I'm guessing you couldn't just have a big shape of soil as they grass would get no nutrients, but would there be a way to do it using lots of fertiliser?

    If my grass bank is anything to go by then yes:D, It would not be a problem as long as your 'chair' is sturdy and not going to crumble away;)
    I have seen several grass mounds shaped as tables and chairs on my travels and they were well used too. Go for it Jam':thumb:
