A month ago If I walked down the garden, water squirted out from under
my wellies and up my legs.

Today there are huge cracks everywhere and the ground has set like
concrete.

It needs some feeding and moss treatment but the only rain is forecast
for tonight. Next week is going to be dry, but the box says don't apply
immediately after cutting the grass.

Does anyone else bother to wait for few days after cutting the grass
before applying weed-n-feed ?.

We'll have a hosepipe ban soon


Not where I live.

Been putting of the first cut of the year ... going to try and run the
blade through the knife sharpener, rather than buy a new one, and make
the first cut the highest, and then trim it lower before they collect the
green waste.


Most councils have stopped collecting green waste, surely ?.


Ours still seems to be doing it... (then again our "green" waste is also
food waste and so is collected every week anyway)
