    Same here Geoff . Yesterday I opened the garage door to get the lawnmower out and it started chucking it down . Five minutes later it stopped and never came on the rest of the day . Grass was too wet to cut of course

    Not a cloud in the sky here this morning
    Regards

    I cut the grass earlier. First time this year, it looks much better. Seeded some bald areas too. Hedge next!

    I try to do at least one useful job a day outside as soon as the weather becomes tolerable. I need to work off the stone in weight I put on over the winter.

    Default Is agent orange still available?

    Last year we moved into a house with a garden that we knew was going to a major challenge/project

    When we moved in the garden had been pretty much neglected for a year or more and had waist high stinging nettles mingled with brambles and a nice side order of brambles, in early autumn we paid a guy to come in with a brushcutter and effectively level everything.

    Now growing season has arrived and we can see what may have been a lawn but with a fresh new crop of stinging nettles. Our plan is to reinstate the lawn and are thinking of hiring a rotivator as it needs levelling/flattening. I have treated the nettles with 15 litres (so far) of SBK brushwood killer and they do seem to be wilting nicely.

    If we wait for the nettles to die off then rotivate and level the lawn will it be of to turf without removing all the nettle roots (albeit dead, hopefully) or will they all need digging out to prevent regrowth through the new lawn?

    If the latter I may just concrete over the lot

    If they are truly dead then cut off the tops where seed may be, as this can produce new plants. If you don't then they will probably come again. Interestingly nettles grow in good soil so your in luck that way

    We have just replaced our lawn with artificial lawn. Looks stunning. No more mowing, no more weeding, no more watering, no more spiking, no more fertilising. We got ours from here:http://bit.ly/2Z7FuRS
