Lawns

Hi LukeI'm not an expert by any means - logged on to post my second question and thought it was my turn to answer some! I have in the last six months successfully grown a lawn from scratch, and unsuccessfully (so far) renovated an existing lawn.The best lawn-from-scratch descriptions I've...

I don't think it's dollar spot I've haven't noticed any spider webs? Probably been about 2-3 month since I put the fertiliser down. And the patches have spread started off with one.It could be slugs but they are in other areas which dont have patches. What's the best way to get rigs of slugs?...

Nice plush lawns @Verdun and @BigC both my neighbours have gone bone dry and turning brown

Ha ha, I've no worries about my lawn-it will come back. Grass is tough stuff.

Glorious looking lawn and you've done well there @Chris Brown

Redwing is Profile page is available...most likely late replying

Lucius ...you've done well with your garden besides other areas of your home besides ...your not wonder woman mate

Good point Harry

was looking at the lawn pix. counting the passes. I would say that area is only the size of our left side lawn, the right side need one square also. now, if I take that square and put it in the front I would need 6 squares for the front. now the back 4 squares, now the back back another...

Thanks - I'll look into trying out a patch first and see how it goes.

I mow when it needs cutting. In dry weather I leave it slightly longer. My theory, whether right or wrong, is that slightly longer grass gives the it more chance to catch any dew that might form.In peak growing times when there is rain to keep it watered I mow the main lawns twice a week,...

Looks like it’s an uneven spray of fertiliser. Normally you need to work out the area size then calculate the amount of fertiliser but rather than baffle you a little tip is to use a dye in the liquid so you can see where you have been. The equipment needs to be clean so that you have an even...

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.

It just depends on the amount of moss to how well the 4 in 1 works. Once you have it under control it will work fine but due to the low levels of Fe you need to apply it at full rates. Fe or iron hardens up the grass plant, it’s what it’s designed to do but the iron also kills and deters moss....

Definitely will do. I’ll try to keep this post updated with the progress I make.Thanks again for all the help and advice.

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...
