    Moss

    An old gardener with a better garden than mine once saw me struggling to eradicate moss from my lawn. He told me to put sharp sand on then rake it. So I did. The moss just lifted right out no bother.

    Lawn dying

    liming reduces acidity but when liming you don’t want to over apply. It’s why it’s best to have a gentle approach or take soil samples.

    Cordless mowers with a roller

    It looks to have a lightweight plastic roller so probably a bit useless. It depends if you buy it with batteries it comes with a roller, without batteries no roller, an odd way to market it.
