Gardening with Joey

[COYBL25]

Lobbing wildflower seeds all over it and sticking a few apple trees in is way better than a lawn.

Lawns are overrated pains in the arse. A big old mess of wildflowers looks way better and can give the appearance of being cared for by mowing a path or two through it.

Much better for wildlife and insects too, in particular Bees

Helped a mate pollard a willow i planted in his garden as a twig, 27 years ago. Much climbing, much waving of chainsaws about. Despite a lot of the tree overhanging neighbours' gardens and fragile roofs, happy to report very little damage done- and no loss of life or limbs. Stiff as hell today though.

Joey i have some uneven pavers causing a mess, splashing water up every time the dog walks on them.

Any pointers on an easy fix?

When dry lift them use a good gravel base put pegs in the ground using a sprit level firm the gravel down hard - use a dry 4 to ond cement mix to the level of you have set eg you can slope you flags by your pegs you set with your level you aquire - the flags you lift the reverse side have to be cleaned off - again do this in dry weather also you could use a semi terminal ground over base to stop weed growth coming through your flags brush in the same mix in the cracs & hammer the flags firmly with a rubber hammer the moisture in the ground will set the mix over night ...

When dry

Where are we on that DDT and or agent orange I enquired about?

 

[Swartzy]

Its cold & wet that's why .... when dry keep your lawn cut ....

Talking about keeping it cut, have you tried using the Manscaped Lawn mower before ?

Only if the seed is good.

And everything else.
