    Hello everyone, I am a middle aged ex groundsman who suddenly realises there is more to life than just growing grass and am looking to extend my knowledge and have cleared a space in my garden hopefully for a greenhouse to appear sometime soon.

    Have already offered my services on the lawn section, I am only too pleased to pass on what I have learned in over 30 years. I am hoping for some other kind hearted members to return the favour when I need some advice

    I can see Ochrwyth from the bedroom window, still relatively unspoiled, the kids round here don't do camping anymore more's the pity. Used to look after the local bowling greens and one of these kids, now grown up, stopped me saturday and told me what fun he used to have damaging the green when he was younger.
