"Here’s my 1-week transformation of the rental backyard:
I turned over the original soil using a garden fork, gave it a good soak, spread some drought-resistant seed, and topped it off with fresh topsoil. I’ve been watering twice a day for about 10 minutes each time.
It’s coming along nicely! Just a few patches left, but I’m hoping they’ll fill in soon."

Shit, that’s the box from Bunnings, isn’t it? Looking at the lawn that was there before (albeit from afar), please post some close-up pics to confirm. I’m going to guess your previous lawn was actually Kikuyu.
