Lawns

Takes a while for the bit to learn the lawn, but basically it does just bounce around the borders! Once established it should do a decent job and you can hopefully forget all about mowing

NutriFlo Casting 10LI can’t comment on its performance as I’ve not tried it but on small lawns I like you tend to brush them. Iron does deter but it’s short lived and you can’t keep repeating it.

looks good, nice job. The fun part is keeping it nice, new grass always look lovely so it’s just keeping up with it and don’t forget to talk to it :-)

I think it’s best to look at local or trade suppliers in Germany as I don’t know the products there. Most products will have the area covered and may include other info like amount per set volume. With spraying it’s working out the area, volume of water, spray width, discharge rate and speed of...

Shocking, its not even on catch up

Just been out and laid some seed down on some patchy areas and gave the grass a good drink…..been pretty dry up here now for a few days, so it was needed.

Thank you for the help.

That website will be for domestic sales only. For professional usage they will be using bespoke products, which the groundsman will need to have had the soil analysed first. What you use will not be the same product that the professional will use. I know who they are, but by their company name,...

Thats a wetland meadow, not grass lol

A further question about my lawn project please. Could anyone tell me what weight and size turf comes in and is it straightforward to lay it? Thanks.

I am not an expert on lawns by any means and have what I describe as short meadow here. I could not in all honesty say our grass is a lawn being predominately clover and moss but the bees love the clover and it is green! From far away it looks not too bad, in reality! Growing the perfect lawn...

Hi Josh. They put a membrane down when they laid the grass. the weeds mainly take root in the grass mat itself, and are quite easy to pull out, if a bit annoying.I havn't got as far as getting vinegar.

Some great advice in this thread so far. If your lawn care routine isn't working out in the long run, I would recommend using a soil test kit. I've seen a lot of issues with new builds as Liz mentioned and sometimes you really need to test the soil and see what the pH is like - there are also...

In Alan Titchmarsh's book 'supergardener' he explains a cheap easy method to bring an abandoned lawn under control. "The idler's Lawn" page 199. He says, first cut down all the long growth with a sythe/shears or strimmer. Then mow the area with a good rotary mower. Continue to mow the rough area...

It's very difficult to get rid of if its been there for years, there will be seeds in the soil so even if you kill it off with chemicals they will come back. If it's only a small lawn then you can hand weed them. If bigger you could try a lawn specific weed-killer, one that contains 2,4-D but it...

And now for the reason I joined GC and plan on asking lots of questions. Be candid (brutal) with your responses, I have a thick skin.For years, I neglected my lawn and treated it like dirt. Other than mowing weekly during the growing season and keeping the sprinkler on, I did little more. ...

Yes, it's hot here too. Those are great tips. You are so kind to take so much time to help us out. One day we hope to have a lawn like the ones you shared!

Are we relayinh wembley stadium….all this sounds like overkill to me having just killed off and reseeded my own garden, i did none of whats being advised here
