Hosepipe Ban

Ha ha Fat Controller . Nice one

 

@pete , my lawn is also beige world . Lush green is so so 2017 , and not on trend at all

 

Been playing on mine today. The soft lush green sward was perfect to sit on too

I think if lawns were always to go yellow and brown in summer I would use the space for more plants, a bigger pool, a new patio, etc. A burnt lawn in summer isnt fit for purpose, is it?

 

You men! Woo, where on earth will you find the water for a pond? I don`t think it will ever rain again.
Verdun, they are playing your song

Armandii, your dedication to the dopey is incredible - when do you get your ''I`m a Saint'' badge...........and you, young Fat Controller .... watch out, I`m coming round there to give you a mulching lesson!!

 

This drought here while there is no ban on a hose has been hard on my fishery. It’s 9 acres and it’s about to be closed due to the drop in the water table.
A few years back we had a real bad winter where 25% of fish stock was lost due to gases but other local lakes lost up too 100%. With a 7 figure stock it’s scary but it’s the risk that’s associated with fisheries.

 

I just hope it doesn`t put `em off gardening for good

 

That`s what I call serious. I hope you get rain soon...... lawns will bounce back.
Whereabouts are you @Liz the pot ?

 

I’m Bucks down in the South East. It will all turn out ok, nothing I can do sadly but we have a large pump system going to aid aeration to help the fish but with the drop and water temps it’s not good for the fish to be caught while they are under stress.

 

But Woo, you have only just sorted the lawn out - surely a good heavy shower will green it up again?

 

....it`s getting too hot out there, I`ve been mulching, will be glad when I`ve had enough
Here`s an area I cleared

Notice how wet it is @ARMANDII .....(hose at bottom of illustration)
Then I lugged a bag of peat plus from the other side of the garden, almost killing myself into the bargain, and opened it..... with my scissors ...

It has a wonderful aroma akin to cow poo (which unfortunately does not linger long)
Next we have the finished job (for now)
Time for
