    Help - Major lawn problem

    A proper selective turf weedkiller ie Verdone extra. Spray it rather than watering it, two aplications will be needed, a 2 week gap in between.

    My back garden is the same - full of rubble. My best find so far is a rock about 12"x12"x8" about 1/4" below the surface. You can get a fork in to a depth of 3" only in about 25% of the lawn. My...

My plan is to dig the whole lot over and start again (as soon as I can convince the other half to let me!)
