Im really confused now, what I should do :confused:. John D says leave it til next spring before putting anything on, and r896neo says its worth fertilizing new turf at the time of laying or shortly after.........if I did put this Scotts Autumn Lawn Feed on (which I have already bought now)...

thanks for the replies. As you have said, I will be backing up things I have saved on my computer. I went out yesterday and bought a 500gb portable hard drive to do this........it was just that I was being cautious about upgrading to Windows10 because when Windows 8 came out, a lot of people...

Hi everyone. I have a Lenovo laptop that comes with Windows 8. Just recently everytime I switch it on, in the bottom right hand corner (where the date and time are) it pops up with an icon asking me to reserve my free copy of Windows 10. Please can somebody tell me, if by upgrading to Windows...

to r869neo, the new turf wasn't fertilized at the time of laying....I have contacted my local garden center today and spoke to a specialist regarding my lawn, and he recommended I buy Scott's Autumn lawn feed, as this isn't to high in nitrates and isn't a 3in1 feed like Evergreen etc.....as for...

Hi everyone. Does anybody know how long you have to wait before you treat new turf?. I had some new turf put down on the 18th Aug. It has taken well, but in places it is a bit bear and doesn't seem to put growing much, i.e. its not very green. I would like to put some feed treatment on it like...

Hi everyone. I am thinking about replacing my current double garage with a brick built one. It will be exactly the same size (possibly slightly smaller) and it will be in the same place as my existing one (which is fabricated). Please could somebody tell me if I will need planning permission to...

thanks very much for your kind words Squeaky......yes, a few things have rubbed off on me, I just know that he wouldn't of given up with it......if something was broke he could fix it, even if something was a so called 'sealed unit'....he could get in it and fix it.....and if anything needed a...

unfortunately getting a new one isn't an option.....the one I have at the moment is all tiled in, so to take it out would be very difficult and would need a few tiles taking out....I dont really want to do this, as my husband put the shower in and my husband was killed 12 months ago in a...

no other lights come on, i.e. low pressure light etc....it does have a separate switch but this has also been checked and its fine

Help needed......my Mira Sport Shower has started turning itself off when I switch it on. It doesn't seem to matter which power setting I choose (High, Medium or Low) within 10 secs it just stops, as though you have pressed the stop button. I have contacted Mira to ask their advice and they...

Please could someone tell me if Ronseal woodstain can be applied with a sprayer, I know that it may need to be thinned down (and apparently it can), but I cant find anywhere that says it can be applied with a sprayer. I need to paint my Summer House, and 2 sides are impossible to get to with a...

Hi everyone. Does anybody know if you can apply Ronseal 5yr Woodstain by sprayer? The reason I am asking is because, I have a Summer House that I need to paint, and 2 sides of it is impossible to do by brush because you can't get down the side of it. I know a lot of paints etc say that you...

Please help......I need to paint my garden gates, previously they have been stained/varnised, but my father in law has suggested using some thing called Creocote this time. He said it is really good stuff, it will protect my gates just the same, and it is much cheaper to buy as my gates are very...

Hi, folks......just wanted to ask can Dulux Once paint be thinned down. I know its called Once for a reason (as in it doesnt need any undercoat) but as im painting dark wood cupboards and wanted to be sure of a good coverage I have already but undercoat on all the woodwork, so I dont really want...

thanks again for all the help, ive now bought my paint and undercoat......but the paint seems to be quite thick and it does say on the tin to put a good coat on to ensure good coverage (maybe thats the reason why its so thick).....but as im using an undercoat, i dont really want it to go on that...

thanks for all the advice and suggestions, ive finally decided on a choice of paint which is Dulux Satinwood (oil based), but just need to know what would be the best undercoat to use.....i.e. because im using an oil based paint does that mean the undercoat must be oil based? or can any...
