Grass seeds
Sorry about the mundane nature of this boldly adventurous request but I need to find some grass seeds. (for lawns, not those other kinds)
I have looked high and low and in between and nowhere on the island of Bali can I find some grass seeds - grass plants, yes and these other grass-like plants that people use instead of grass but no grass seeds.
Can anyone please tell me where I can find some? Tried Ace Hardware and had 3 young men running all over looking until they came back and shame-faced reported that they "used" to have it but "sorry, sorry, no, sorry". Asked at a number of plant and flower businesses and they all wanted to sell me meters of plants, no thank you, SEEDS! "menyemai bibit untuk" I'm told is the correct Indonesian...
Thanks in advance your Grassless

I think I remember a grass called as bermuda grass or something that grows in the tropics that you have to at least take a handful with roots and will just spread all the place after some months. Maybe you try looking for that grass, maybe to one of your neighbors there.
I have also tried to get hold of grass seeds in the past but was not able to find any.

I know you don’t like Bali Advertiser but under Garden Doctor there is an email address:
dr.cris@ymail.com
I sent him an email not long ago and I got the answer I was looking for.
I am sure he will tell you where to get them
Not true! I love the Bali Advertiser! It's great for putting fries on to soak up the extra fat and finding out what the Ayurveda terrorists are up to. But thanks for the email anyway that hadn't occurred to me either.Originally Posted by lumumba

Please Markit, share the information if you got it yap!!
I have been asking my friends to bright some seeds from Spain (not got them yet!!!) but will be easier to know if there is a place selling them in Bali!!!

Begonia you've been here how many years?
And you don't know where to find grass seed?
I have to say I find that just a little discouraging....
Around 6 months ago I went with an expat friend to Carrefour and she bought some stuff to fix some patches in her lawn, now I can't remember if she bought lawn seed or fertiliser, but there were quite a few packets of different lawn stuff there. If you happen to be in C4 might be worth checking out their gardening section to see what they have.
Markit a quicker option but less expensive than putting down a 'roll on' lawn, is to buy the squares of ready grown lawn and then wash off the attached dirt and detangle the roots so that you have lots of individual tufts of grass. You then plant these at approx 10cm spacing in a grid fashion and they grow and spread pretty fast to cover the area.
Thanks toucan I'll C4 (thought that was an explosive?) a go. It's really not so much an expense factor - the local garden shop will sell me a square meter of the stuff and lay it for me for 20,000 Rups. It's just here where everything grows when you look at it hard, I just can't find the motivation to do it that way - sometimes I just want to do things my way... as Sinatra said.
you can ask some fishermen that will be the really helping source to exactly get an idea that from where you can get this grass.
