4 years ago i dug up my back garden wich is quite large, & put top soil on it, i left it to my husband to seed it, i went away for 2 weeks when i came home weeds had grown very high..he never seeded it. so i left it like that..i cant bear to look at it anymore, its full of weeds and very patchy. what do i do? do i need to redig it all again? do i use a shovel or is there some kind of machine that can help me with this?
I'd like to use lawn sand in my back garden to treat moss as it was successful in the front but our pet rabbit shares our lawn. Instructions say to keep pets off for 4 hours after watering but I suspect this only applies to pets who don't eat the grass. Is it safe to use for rabbits or is there an alternative?
Is it too early to mow the lawn?
I have a rather big lawn and my kids use some of the lawn/garden to play football, last year i had some very bad patches with bumps and no grass growth.I have now leveled up these areas with clay and top soil.Would spreading lawn seed type 3 be a waste of time during these cold nights?? or could covering the seed with sand help ??
The grass quality is very bad. Last year it looked like red grass patches in the lawn. So far this year it looks almost dead. Looks like a disease.What should I do? Thanks
I set a large lawn (approx 1/2 acre) two years ago. Although the soil in surrounding fields seems dry, my lawn is constantly wet with poor grass growth and plenty of rushes growing throughout lawn. Will i need to re-seed lawn or can it be rescued?
is it ok to mow even if there is frost at night time?
New garden, have done some drainage work, grass seed planted in October, one area still very wet. Would it help to dry it up when we plant hedging - we are considering cornus (mix of red and yellow stemmed). What other plants or trees would you recommend to dry the place up a bit. I presume when the grass gets a bit more established that will also help. Don't fancy getting diggers etc to do more drainage. Thanks
