    Hi I'm ready to sow grass seed now, but not sure if it's too late in the year. The area is only some set aside land that I have built up with earth that I had to get rid of, but wanted it to green up ASAP. Also what's the best seed to use for this type of ground. Thanks for any help.

    Paving

    Hi I have bought some Black Indian limestone slabs with a riven pattern, but I'm not sure what side up they should be, the edges are sloped. Should the edges slope upwards (pyramid style) or should they slope downwards in a v-shape towards the ground? Thanks

    wireless internet

    Hi just had wireless router fitted in my loft, my PC has a wireless card but the guy who set it up said there was no aerial so he used a USB card. My question is, should I use the USB or will it be better to get the aerial screwed in and use that.
