Lawns

That makes sense. From what I read so far, I make the conclusion that the lawn aeration tools one should use depend a lot on the type of soil they have and its condition. The more the soil is compacted, the bigger the hollow tines or spikes should be.

Thanks, everyone. Will wait for a fortnight then!

I'd like to grow some wheatgrass indoors - not for the usual health tonic reasons - I'd like to have a mini lawn in my house!Has anyone grown wheatgrass? Any idea how long it will keep growing for? Can I cut it multiple times and keep it growing?Any tips appreciated.Thanks,

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

So your choices are either to dig down or build up!

She's not going to bother dealing with it seeing as she's going to be moving in a couple of years and the new owners might not even want to keep the lawn. No point spending all that time and money. I told her she could treat it with moss treatment but that wouldn't sort the underlying problem.

It should be easily controlled to be honest but it needs to be actively growing for a selective herbicide to work well. If you tried to treat it in lower temps the success rate drops. I would now wait till the spring then see how the grass is and go from there.

Look up liverwort. Caused by poor drainage and low light. You don’t need a weed killer for that, you need to improve the area for the grass plant.

The one's in our garden are trustworthy, but they have no links to money, just the food I put out for them To quote Ronny Barker "they dug another tunnel and put the soil down there"

That looks like a sun job to me...our lawn on the back garden ended up like that in the end after the dog had half ruined it besides.

This is just worms. I would advise spraying some verdon on the small muddy bits as they are prone for growing weeks in them

You‘re welcome. Give it a feed then keep us updated. It can be a persistent problem.

On a newly laid lawn maybe, but on an established lawn, with all the rain we then had (presumably you too) then I doubt it.The only thing I think is wrong with it is that you are paying to put weed killer on the whole lawn, whether it needs it or not. So my preference is separate...

Hi All,I've asked for a quote to prepare and turf an area of around 60m2. There will be a fair bit of preparation - mainly de stoning and levelling.How much is a 'reasonable' quote for this work?Ta Chris

It does matter to some of us Pete. It may be to late for feeding lawns but I'll be putting down weed killer tomorrow, I'm still fighting dandelions and creeping buttercup.

Thank you [emoji6]

That looks like standard grade turf.Unless you are prepared to mow weekly with a cylinder mower and religiusly spray,water, feed and scarify then there is no point wasting money on fine grade turf.

It's a toss up between the leaves shading the grass or the damage you do by walking. To be honest walking won't do much harm normally provided it's not frosty. Personally I'd leave the leaves, at the moment on my lawn the worms are doing a great job of aerating. They are pulling some of the...

Lots of great info. Well done everyone
