        It looks great, @wiseowl. Good luck with the turf laying, but please take care of yourself. Mrs Woo will not be impressed if you hurt yourself :doh:.

            Take it steady, @wiseowl ! I had to carry a similar quantity of turf over a similar distance last spring - from the road, up two flights of stone steps and through the house - and it was knackering work. Make sure to have pleanty of tea breaks!

                Hi @luciusmaximus I don't know much about Pickeral Rush my apologies, but it might be beneficial if you put another post in the water Gardening section it might get more views my friend,just a respectful suggestion;):smile:
