Members Rudy Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Right you bunch of gays. Gardening. I’m ok at best, mrs gives me ideas but it’s the maintenance that I like keeping on top of. The lawn has gone a bit discoloured and patchy, tips for that? Best thing to use on weeds in between paving stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have gone a bit swamp like in parts, don’t really water it, but there are couple of streams around us, my neighbours looks like crown green bowling . It’s perfect.

Moderators Zico Posted May 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2020 We got a new lawn laid about a month or so ago Some of it looks scorched / dry in patches On the advice of the gardeners who mow it for us, is to water it if not once then twice a day But only first or last thing Cept i don't know whether to give it a light sprinkle or drown it, the temptation is the latter I'll ask again when they come round next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posh bastard they do it for £20 and have it all done in less than half an hour with their "industrial" equipment Last time i did it it took 2 hours, i missed abit and got a mild electric shock from a wonky plug extension Since I went freelance i judge all services on my hourly basis and expertise offered Time is money, leave it to someone who knows what they're doing We had a cleaner too but she was wank and I don't mind hoovering But mowing the lawn, ironing and cleaning porcelain aren't my thing, so someone else can do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to use on weeds in between paving stones? Surely there's an expert or two on grass at the Mini-had? Most lawn advice seems to be make sure it is aerated to the roots by spiking and scarified (raked) after mowing. Keep trying to persuade maude to let me use wildflower mix. For the bees innit.

Stuff they use isn’t safe for dogs. I said it collects a lot of water and they told me it could be a number of reasons. Close proximity to a stream, river or golfcourse? Yes to all 3.
