Only a pawn in the game.

 

To be fair I inherited the pokers from the previous owner but thanks for the encouragement!
Do you know when is the earliest I can use my scarifier on the lawn - we've had a pretty wet winter and the moss has invaded yet again.I promise to do the edges this year - do I need to use the edger to cut back again or just trim grass with a strimmer?

 

I personally wouldn't scarify just yet - it's a bit wet at the moment. As for edging - I like the effect you get when you use an edging iron / edger/ half-moon - whatever you want to call it! I generally do that early on (maybe even about now - depending on how wet the grass is) and then again at the end of the season - unless it's for a manicured lawn - then I trim the edges with the edging shears every time I cut the grass. Up to you really! I only use the strimmer for areas where the mower's too wide, or it's too rough - and that's not a problem for you - really nice photo!! :D

 

I use boards when edging. If you need a straight line use the board also stand on it to keep the grass from flattening and when you remove it the edge will look clean and well finished. Snowing here.

 

Wow what a difference a few days makes - this is my garden this morning at 9am - so much for spring being in the air!

 

looks good in the snow too! It's been snowing for ages here too - started sometime overnight, and it's still going - got plenty of pics (see comp!!) :D :D :D
