Amazing just how much thatch it brings out, but I’ve got three patches to reseed in spring from it ripping the lawn up.burridge01 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 3:42 pm Carefull with that thing and start on its highest setting.I got one last year and ripped half me bloody lawn up.Ive just scarified the garden with a rake,amazing what comes up and a good work out at the same time (still got the electric scarifier but a bit hesitant to use it again )
I used the machine and then went over it again with a rake, it was a good work out and I got another half-bin full. At the end of it all I was very pleased my lawn wasn’t that big!

Surprising how much comes up.Are you putting some sort of fertiliser on after.

Maybe some roundup . I might give it a light dressing in the spring maybe but I don’t want to be cutting it twice a week!. Some of my clients used to have “Green thumb” lawn care which was a nightmare , you could see them laughing as they drive away in the knowledge I’d be cutting it in a couple days .burridge01 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2024 7:02 am Surprising how much comes up.Are you putting some sort of fertiliser on after.

Just getting over last night. 150 small bags of Haribo starmix given out. The last knock on the door was just before 9pm. Not even a packet left for me

Nope, borrowed my neighbours spiking ‘lawnmower’ type thing, it still raised a sweat though.

First relaxing day in ages. Just me, my Lazyboy recliner and the TV. Add loads of Tea into the mix. Perfect

Re: What did you do today?
People forget it's still about. Sure I got my first hit from dirty Dick's(St Richards). Got it 4 more times after. Even though I had all the jabs. The last was the worst. For 2 days I thought it was the end.
Hope you get well soon Steve.
