Traf Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Heavy thunder stuff over Blackburn at the minute. There’s some kind of festival with the local Rayguns taking place on the park adjacent with some dude whaling prayers over a rather large public address system. They’re getting completely pissed wet through. Eid, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Haha that’s ace They call em dust devils in America. Basically little whirl winds caused by hot air rising through cooler air. You’d probably see a few more when it’s red hot but obviously they’re only visible when full of hay / dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Must admit, it was a lot hotter today watching Leigh at Dewsbury than last week in the South of France at Albi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 24, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2018 Awkward one this. Read somewhere that lawns shouldn't be watered in drought conditions. Personally, I'd flood the bugger but AFTER the sun's dropped. Scorch, it otherwise. Don't cut it much either, only a slight trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told me mam this, let the fucker grow and I will mow it in September once it looks green again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2018 I told me mam this, let the fucker grow and I will mow it in September once it looks green again. My mum's the same- "can you do my lawn again as it's a mess". Kinell, the odd area that's a bit longer than elsewhere but it's healthy and green. To many bone the fucker religiously then wonder why it's gone yellow and gets full of moss over winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Ive got massive patches of Lilly leave type stuff on my grass at the bottom of my garden. Like the stuff you find on top of a pond. How the fuck do I stop that growing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2018 Buy some grass carp. Alternatively purchase a selective weed killer and spray your lawn with it. Make sure you follow instructions accurately. Garden centre should sort you out, or try online (may have to buy a bigger container). Good time to do it as plants are growing well. Once dead give your lawn a good feed; again following instructions accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) have you still got a hound?Had him put down in October mate Nice one TM. There’s a tributary to river wyre that runs through behind the garden. That won’t help. Edited June 25, 2018 by gonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2018 Is it also a shady part and/or damp where these weeds are? If so consider spiking and applying some top dressing by brushing in. Will help with drainage and gas exchange to the grasses' roots.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2018 Next time I'm at the match I'll try and snaffle one of those lighting gantries they use for the pitch. Usually parked up near tesco. Sure no one will bother as it hangs out the back of the van on the m61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
