A number of ridges have appeared on part of the lawn in early Spring. Approx 3 meters long and 1cm wide. What could have caused this and whats the best way to restore it back to an even surface.
Should I spread lawn sand on patches of my garden that can retain rainwater. The garden has been established over the last 5 years.
I have a resonably healthy lawn apart from many bumps due probably to over enthusiastic hurlers using it in damp conditions. Would you recommend rolling it? I realise that a very heavy roller would probable do more harm than good but maybe a half filled water roller would do the job?

I have recently moved into a house built approx 14 years ago. It is in a development with houses behind and at each side. I have a soggy and uneven garden. I have two young children and would like to put my garden to better use. I am a first time gardener! I am considering digging the entire garden up, leveling and laying new grass seed. Can you give me any advice?
I've been seeing these strange little mud piles everywhere recently, and I'm wondering if they are earthworm castings? They seem to appear where the ground is particularly wet or muddy. They don't seem to be anything like any castings images I can find on the internet. Do you know what they are?!
