Lawns

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

Made the most of the warm weather today and gave it a new year cut.

inter, I might think about swapping at some time but don't hold your breathe :D . I don't feed, rake, scarify or weedkill any of my lawns. The lawn in the picture takes something less than 30 minutes. Apart from two very small lawns that take more time getting the mower to them and then...

I would say that it's done well and for the minimal cost it looks good. Just treated it with verdone then I'll fertilise again as its 6 weeks is up.

mow it twice .... but wait till midday or early afternoon on the 1st pass, raise the mower then wait a while, lower the mower to the correct height and mow again, but don't remove more than the top 1/3 of lawn

You'll need to ease-up during the 28 days, rather than just "stop" on day 28 (as the grass won't be acclimatised to "no water"!). I suggest that if the weather is not hot you delay the next drench. Maybe make a timetable so you are down to every 4 days by the end of 28 days. I think you will...

At the moment, it is too long! I am back at work, and when I have had time off it has been p-p-p-p-persisting down with rain, hence the lawn is in dire need of a mowing. Otherwise, it is pretty good - definitely worth the effort.

We had one visit the garden last week for the first time ever it was actually legging it out the greenhouse, when I got in there it had knocked 6 plants off the top shelf they are needless to say not welcome.They are responsible for robbing birds eggs and play havoc with our feathered friends in...

I would normally say it’s easier to stay with Evergreen products as you will have the settings for your spreader. They have changed a bit though and while they do a fert only it’s a high N which I’m not keen on as it creates flush growth which can create issues. As it’s still early and as...

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

That's the sort of thing my other half would say Al n and mean it!

Thanks KrisThis constant damp conditions aren't making it easy. I could do with some dry weather to let the soil dry out.

To merit such an accolade from “Liz” is the equivalent of receiving a knighthood!A Law(n) Knight now, I am honoured and will endeavour to remain worthy, come what May 2023, when the dreaded PA returns.

All I have decided after all to get the mower serviced/repaired for around £50, so fingers crossed and thank you all for your help and input on this matter.ThanksTimCS

Its a lovely hose and I did manage to spot it - An Armature is the central winding of an electric motor , thought it was a play on words .

thanks Al , ive not been able to anything because of all the rain weve had ! so should i seed the bald spots or just do as you say , how will grass grow on bald patches without seeding , or am i mising something ? thanks again

not at the golf club I’m at. Everything is done by the book and every record is kept. If a club does practice that then everything else will be of poor standard. If you have concerns about safety then HSE are the ones to contact.personally on a public forum it’s not my job to criticise or...

I have an electric scarifier and only used it once in the six or seven years I've owned it. I don't even know if it still works, time to find out I think.

If you check out the forum thread in off topic, 'Your day (apart from gardening) what took place' You'll see appropriate discussions Guy
