You need a mower that pulls you, then it becomes a pleasure.
Nice early start this morning and it's all looking nearly ready to go. Just a waiting game now, hopefully a bit of rain end of next week to bring...
Mine might be the same 5 years from now. I'm fairly new to gardening and my likes and dislikes might change as I ease further in. My thoughts are...
That's how I would do it if I ever did it again. Both of my lawns have now either been dug or rotovated by me so I know what's down there. Only...
You didn't rotovate yours though mate, I've got 8 inches of fluffy soil under mine.Been doing mine on and off all day, 75m2 in the baking sun....
Is there any rush to trod the area? I have six weeks or so to prepare before seeding, can I do it in stages as I go or will it get harder to trod...
Well done mate, you must be well chuffed.
It's starting to take shape. The last couple of days I've spent 3 hours in the evenings rotovating/tilling the area to a good depth. Proper horse...
If you're bored mate have a look at this thread I started back in Sept 2018.Scarifying and patch magic.Plenty of hard work already been done...
I'm guessing your soil isn't as acidic as mine, or at least the top inch or so you added isn't.The bloke at Progreen told me it was fairly rare...
I think I'll try to keep it simple and just go with the lime and fertiliser as recommended.Your lawn does look good considering you only seeded...
Okay, if the compost isn't really needed then I won't put any on. I thought it would definitely make an improvement but if that isn't always the...
I am edging towards putting 20 bags of compost on it when I till the soil. I think I can deal with the height increase as I have the decrease from...
They didn't mention another soil sample, they told me that their recommendation was for this year only and I should ring them again in spring to...
And their recommendations are.Garden lime @ 100g/m2G0 Granular fertiliser @ 200g/m2 Amvista G0 Kick-Start 20KG (10-4-4) cool weather active...
Glad I had a soil test done, looks like I was on a hiding to nothing with my lawn care over the last few years.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]Just waiting...
Having said that I learnt a lot in the three years about lawn care. I'm now in a much better position to be able to maintain a good new lawn.
In the three years since I took over the lawn I've spent a lot of time, money and effort trying to get it right but looking back I should have...
It's probably going to be half way through July before I get the soil test results and then a couple more weeks to organise delivery of all the...
Would there be a problem having the area prepared well in advance, say, end of July, with a view to seeding 6 to eight weeks later depending on...
