    Will re-seeding different areas of lawn result in different colored grass?

    Yes, the new areas would probably look a bit greener and "shinier" but they'll all merge in together soon enough, certainly by next season. The weather would affect the speed of merging in - you...

    Will I have to manually remove weeds from lawn?

    They'll fall to bits when you rake the lawn (e.g. to get it read for overseeding). If they don't fall to bits then rake it harder :heehee:

    Will grass grow in this bit or is it not worth bothering?

    If you nail the pallets together at the corners it wouldn't take long to destroy them! :) Places like Homebase will deliver for you, costs between £5 and £10 I think and you could order online....

    Will a New Lawn work on this surface ?

    Your welcome. Preperation of the surface can be a hard work, but the results will more than pay back, as you sit on your greensward, sipping a glass of chilled wine :D
