Lawn Maintenance

Now is certainly a good time of the year to do it but be aware scarifying is not a cure for all lawn ills. It is beneficial and should be done annualy. If your lawn is not too big then ( say less than 75 sm, then it is worthwhile investing in a hand scarifier like a Florabest or Wolf Gatren for about 30 quid.


I'd also suggest you look to use a selective ( ie broad leaf) weed killer before hand. Also it really pays to aerate your lawn with a fork to a depth of 100mm. Then why not go the extra mile and spread a little of top dressing with a some grass seed to brush into the fork holes.


Do all these things and your lawn will improve dramatically. Scarifying alone is not a miracle cure-just one part of a range of measures.

    • Does anyone know what happened to the St Christopher's hospice tree guys who used to have a plot at the Plough? Have they moved somewhere else?  Or alternatively, does anyone know where I get a tree where some of the money goes to a charity.  Am aware that all the local schools have already had their fairs so that's not an option.  Thanks all
    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant
