Lawns

Thanks! I'm going to buy some weedkiller tomorrow and hire a rotovator in a couple of weeks. Thanks all for your help!

Glyphosate would mean killing about 50% of grass with it.Gonna have to try other methods.

Hi Maxi,I'd go with all the obvious suggestion here of contacting the landscapers. Sometimes turf just doesn't take very well on the soil it was laid on; you can get an idea of this by trying to pull up a couple of the turfs - it it comes up easily it hasn't rooted into the native soil, and is...

I had some yellow areas on my grass about 3 weeks ago, but I aerated it, then put in some seeds and it's all coming back to its more natural green.

I must get round to doing the test patch been busy and been to weymouth today

Might be a bit late to contribute to this, but our local council did some work on the grounds of offices very recently and sowed some grass seed on the bare ground. I walked past it thinking, no way will that grow now. But I walked past it yesterday and it's growing, even with all the rain we've...

Yes, I agree ... although there will be opinions and opinions!!If its just grass then worst case it will pop up and grow through the new turf ... adding more grass to your ... grass! What you don't want is any pernicious weeds left behind, so if it looks like you have any of those then Nuke...

Good morning I don't know much about grass but my hair such as it is grows at different rates

Thanks a lot. Many hours a hard work have gone into the garden.

we used a heavy duty lawn edging. 129.00 for 50m roll. works well with our petrol strimmer. bought online in best4garden, nice chap there.

Probably some good advice here, but too late for me:(My new lawn is coming on nicely (from seed on ground that I dug the back breaking way).It now has lumps and bumps in it. I was planning on levelling it by top dressing with a layer of sharp sand mixed with mushroom compost in September. If...

Did not think lawn was compacted. Only compaction, is me cutting it for 30 years, plus kids growing up, playing on it. Re closely shorne - I have always cut it at 350 mm. Hungry - maybe yes - I only give it one dose of 7-6-17 per year, is this OK/sufficient. Sure, it is continuously damp in...

My sisters used to do that.. I still feel tormented by having to go to random places for tournaments..

Hanna, if it`s only been down two or three weeks why are you cutting it and feeding it? Leave it to establish for a couple of MONTHS.DO NOT cut, DO NOT feed.:lollol::lollol::gnthb:

from what I have heard, this blend from BSH is supposed to be very good, and is used in countries such as Switzerland ) it contains a seed called Supranova Poa Supina a 20kg bag costs £146 pounds though .... if you need less, they may be able to help (there is a calculator on the link that...

Offft! Lifting/Shifting all that stone (it's about 1' deep) would take a back breaking long time. Toying with putting my little patio (12x12) on top, to hide some of the chips, then it looks like it will be some decorative gravel to hide the rest. Might try splitting it up into areas, and...

There is no benefit in doubling up ANY herbicide, the dose rate stated by the manufactures is the optimum if a higher dose was beneficial they would use this. With roundup doubling the dose decreases the efficiency.If you have anything persistent then spray twice, once with a two week gap...

Andy, As i said mate, make sure those tap root weeds are out. I would NOT roll it. All your doing is compacting it and may get drainage issues later. Here's what i would do: Add sharp sand to the top of your mud mess. Then get a rotivator and rotivate it all in. Then tread it down and rake to...

Perhaps an elderly person, with a large garden, would like to "share" it with someone who could do/help with the work?

Did you see the small trees for small gardens bit on gardeners world last week? The white berried rowan looked beautiful. Sorbus Kashmir... something! Can't remember rest of name but I'm sure Google will find it on a search.
