Lawns

You need to let new growth establish first mate ...just a shame your lawn went like that

Good morning another reason for leaving Dandelions alone,I have 3 pairs of goldfinches in my garden and they just love them

Yep, makes good sense GnOme

Purchase the Evergreen weed and feed as suggested and purchase this spreader. Scotts Miracle-Gro EvenGreen Drop Spreader: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & OutdoorsThe setting will be number 6.The little book will show how to spread with the spreader. You do 2 lines either side of the lawn then you...

Hiya Dan.....warm welcome Yes, exactly that. A good time to sort your lawn too When you turn over the top level of grass make sure you place it green side down and at least 20 or 30 cm deep. Make sure you firm well and level well before you lay any turf. The very best way to firm the soil is...

Was also good at worm cast control but it’s now banned Mike so can’t be used. There are other products that can be used but the price for applications and repeat treatment is expensive and so not an option for most domestic properties. 1250m2 would cost if I was to apply one I use a nice £250...

Cheers Liz! I will add a fertisiler in that case, it needs a boost for sure!

@Liz the pot That would be a possibility.

Walk the lawn, look for anything as you walk. A basic electric mower will be fine if funds are tight and first cut high the recheck lawn. The lawn has not been cut that often as it’s showing the typical signs. I would however think before applying a seed and it will need a dress over the top at...

Hello Matt My lawns are 150 sq metres front lawn and one slightly smaller in back garden and I use a cordless Bosch mower. It will cut both lawns twice on one charge, is very quiet, lightweight and gives me those stripes. Twice a week mowing in less than 20 minutes each time. My second Bosch...

Thanks @BeeHappy we no longer have the turf..as bruno wrecked it when he was alive kept scrapping it and that fencing i couldn't wait to remove

I feel your stone pain! I recently started the task and am boring of it rapidly. Someone told me that I only need to remove anything thats the size of your fist? I have no idea how true this is as its a first for me but in the scale of things it was music to my ears.I just keep on walking...

@Freddy You can treat them as members have stated with good advice but as long as your lawn mower as the spores off them on the blades they keep coming back...so it's a constant treater of the lawn to keep them at bay

Would you ever get enough traction to drive a pedal powered lawnmower ?

Personally I'd do a concrete base with a water proofing additive in and vertical slabs to edge the main base, possibly sticking out a inch or two above your lawn height, to minimise the moisture to the bottom of the shed coming up from the lawn. If you have bikes or other expensive equipment, it...

@toppington thanks to your advice.... experiment I've sown my teabag too ....so will give you an update when there's news

Makes sense Liz

Very interesting Paul, it was a fair few years ago when I tried one out. They have obviously been updated somewhat
