Amazing just how much thatch it brings out, but I’ve got three patches to reseed in spring from it ripping the lawn up.

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!

A quick try out with the electric scarifier yesterday, a bit to damp but works easily,

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 .

Got first hint of that white stuff.

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

Hope you n Steve had ya spikes on

They make you RUNAROUND the garden quicker

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

Had a trip into brum to give plasma

Bugger!

Probably caught it at my local virus hotbed AKA Chichester Hospital

That's a fecker Steve.Whats the action plan nowadays. Isolate for 6 weeks,bread n water,chained to the wall,locals throw veg at you,dipped in the local pond.

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.
