Gardening is very therapeutic, especially weeding as an hour will go by in what seems 20 mins!GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:59 pmSame mate, me and my two eldest have spent the last five days lifting the back lawn and we're about halfway through, we're spending 3 or 4 hours a day on it, it went to ratshit over the winter and was basically weeds and tree roots with no grass, never tried something like this before so its a steep learning curve but we're sort of enjoying it and it is surprisingly good exercise, i reckon i've lost a few kilos already...goonersid wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 7:38 pmThere are good things to come out of this dreadful time!
Im enjoying late mornings, breakfast together with my family, gardening, even cutting the grass!
Most of all, my little 9 year old Donal, who has Downs Syndrome and is who is ensuring we will be exhausted but never bored!!
And a beer every nite
I hope you’re all managing well and staying healthy!!
Take care!!
Any gardiners on here with advice on how to level it properly without a roller
On your lawn? heres my amateur but experienced advice!
If you’re re-laying your old lawn or laying new lawn, try to rake your soil to a fine tilth (like a crumble) then gently stamp it down to remove pockets under the soil, then rake again, repeat another couple of times, rake again until surface looks like a crumble, then lay your grass!
If sewing new grass , it’s basically the same process, just sprinkle seeds and rake them in, keep them watered, but late summet / autumn better for sewing new seed!
Good luck!
