Thanks Panman,I shall get some in due course.Read the blurb and I have to wait 8 weeks before using on a newly seeded lawn

I got 15 sacks of moss out of my small lawn a month ago, I sold my pertrol scarifier years ago but I bought a cheap electric one and does it ever rip the moss out!. I then used a watering can to put 15 ltrs on concentrated liquid iron on (£30 from Amazon) which killed the remainder and has greened ...

Ist cut of the year.Scarified better than last years abomination,then seeded.Still suprises me how much comes up/off with the scarifier.

When I was knocked off, my bike started talking, but I couldn't hear what was being said, too much traffic going past. 5 minutes later 2 ambulances turned up, 10 minutes after that the NHS ambulance arrived. The NHS paramedic told me that the other 2 were private contract ambulances, I presume sent...

Had an owl fly straight towards me on a tree lined road in new forest and seen a dalek by side of road are two that spring to mind.
