Cook billy the badger!!!!I want one!!
Might not work yet!Top work that - mines a margherita
It’s got two 3x2 paving slabs on for the base and 16 firebricks. It will be over a 100kgs.That sounds an ideal project to get into at the minute as I’m climbing the walls! What do you reckon the weight of it is fully constructed? I might send you a PM after the weekend for a bit more info. Cheers
Just get an Ooni.I want one!!

A garden fork will do the trick for aerating the lawn. Go in about 3" and gently lift the turf a touch. Move about 4" forward, and repeat. The earthworms will like this.
You will need a good metal lawn rake for the scarifying mind.
Are the tomatoes ripening yet??My Tomatoes are coming on nicely and my Mizuna lettuce I've grown tastes lovely in my quorn burger sarnies.
Were the fertiliser and the iron meant to be done at the same time?Anyone an expert on grass / lawns?
My grass is all limp (wahey), rather than the individual blade pointing up to the sky, they're all flattened down.
Gave it a dose of dissolveable fertiliser and a low dose of iron (both from the lawnsmith) a few days ago, but no improvement so far
Yes. The leaflet with it says you can mix them together. But not any weedkiller.Were the fertiliser and the iron meant to be done at the same time?
Aaah right.Yes. The leaflet with it says you can mix them together. But not any weedkiller.
doesn't matter as long as the ground's not dry / its going to be dry for ages. You mix it with water and it dissolves anyway. Its a liquid treatment.Aaah right.
And when can you water the lawn after this treatment?
I put weedkiller on (weedol) and then 3 weeks later deeply scarified in spring (turns out this is a bad idea, but too late now) and then overseeded. Then we had the 6 weeks of zero rain.Gotcha.
Have you aerated the lawn then?
And got rid of any old grass (thatch), -that mIght be stopping water getting down into the roots.
An ordinary garden fork will do the job marra.I put weedkiller on (weedol) and then 3 weeks later deeply scarified in spring (turns out this is a bad idea, but too late now) and then overseeded. Then we had the 6 weeks of zero rain.
Then it came through ok. But its just flat, almost growing sideways.
What I haven't done is aerate. I really cba with one of those manual thingies, they look like a nightmare. There's liquid aeration treatments now apparently, maybe I should try one?
can't help but think that a fork just punches a hole, and that makes the compaction even worse everywhere that I havent punched a hole?An ordinary garden fork will do the job marra.
Just thinking that it might help the rain/water get down into the turf better, and replenish the roots.
