A month ago If I walked down the garden, water squirted out from under

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 ?.

Our council did stop the green bin collection, but as it is a combined
garden waste and food waste bin, many people were complaining that they
already had food waste in the bin before the cancellation was announced
and that it would all be rotting. They have therefore announced that
they will be doing one more green bin collection in the coming week and
that people should put food waste into the general waste (grey) bin from
then on.
