lol postal strike. glad to see i'm the only one not suffering. well....the bills can stay away as much as they want :) good to see it coming together nicely

nice one Dan. that's pretty comprehensive. looking forward to seeing the conclusion :)

^^^^ same here, looking forward to seeing them build on this and go all the way!?

A that price it's cheaper to returf the lawn. Rolawn sales team by any chance?

Every gardener's best friend. Clear all wildlife away from the area first obviously :wink:

Not in the slightest. Quite the opposite to be honest. If you reduce height and cut both sides all at the same time you can stimulate a massive growth spurt that can negate the initial reduction if you don't get it under control. Whoever told you they could be killed off was proabably...

It would be fine, it really just comes down to personal choice. If you like the look of it and the plants are coming in at the right price for you then go for it. If it helps just weigh up the pros and the cons of using the choices you've thought of. Which one do you find the most...

With 3 grand I'd be looking at a used John Deere X540 with low hours on the clock, 4 and a half foot cutting deck and from a reputable dealer/source. I think they're approx roughly 4.5k new but was sourced for 3.9k if my memory's correct. (the 320 i think at the time started at 3.2k so 3.9k...

the last load of log roll we pulled out still had the label on the back advising the 15 year gtee... the label outlasted the log roll itself. house was built 4 years ago so it's lasted less than that in very well drained soil. it really is horrible stuff mate. if you do use it just smack...

have you tried asking micromark where they shipped the last batches to and when? worked for me a few times with other discontinued products.

Sureset? Horrible stuff to work with but a great effect.

Dig a pit in the middle of this bed 1 cubic metre , fill with the hardcore you removed (presuming you still have a heap of it?). compact hardcore well then top dress whole area with new top soil/soil conditioner mix. take a photo though if you can as 30 barrows seems a bit of an exaggeration...

Get a couple of empty 2l bottles of soda, peel all the labels off and fill them 3/4 full with water. Lay them on the gravel and say goodbye to your cat troubles.

......or very long. 'Assumption is the mother of all f*** ups.' Bin the met posts Trotter and do it right once. Keep them and you may as well set a countdown for the day that you swear, kick the cat and head off to buy the materials to do the job properly (for the second time) :(

If either Roundup, Weedol or Weedol 2 are available to you they'll do the trick nicely. There are many brands to choose from obviously.

Your aim is to overwhelm the plant no matter how widespread the problem is. It's a war of attrition and it's yours for the winning... I spray once to weaken then approx 1 week later get stuck in digging out whatever I can. It's important to get all of the root system (looks like egg thread...

Thanks for your answers. So scaffold boards won't support the joists!?

I'm taking out approx 3m of load bearing wall (doing the work myself with a little help.) Plans have been drawn up and have spoken to building regs. According to them the lintel I've got would hold a block of flats but when inserting how many acro props should i use on either side of the gap...

Can you get yourself a few months with a reputable fencer? Maybe don't let on what you're planning but get stuck in and get some more experience while you set yourself up. All the advice so far has been spot on and it's difficult to quantify importance but pay particular attention to income...

"Looking to" and "aiming to" are two massively different positions to be in. Which one are you?
