Evergreen Lawn

Hi

I have had a new lawn laid about 3 months ago, it has started to look a bit thin, we gave it a feed of Evergreen this week and used the applicator. My question is on the packaging it says use regularly but how regular and how can I thicken it up. I noticed on one thread that cutting once a week will help thicken the lawn so will try this. I think we may have left the first cut to long but not really sure as we have never had a new lawn and not really confident gardeners. Would really appreciate some advice. regards Chris

Sharpening Garden shears

We have looked and searched our area and can't seemed to find anywhere.  All the little Hardware shops seem to be a thing of the past around here, we will try our local Market Hall there may be someone who knows someone!.

thanks for the info.

Sharpening Garden shears

Hi

Our garden shears need to be sharpened, can anyone give me some advice on where and who would do it these days.  They don't come around the streets these days with a grinder and I haven't done much gardening in my working life.  Or would any of the expert sharpen the garden tools themselves.

sand for plants?

Hi  I have had some compost for bedding my lawn in there was some left so have put it in a bed that needed filling up, I have put compost and underneath isclay soil will I have any problems.  We do have clay soil and I thought that so may help but now having second thoughts.  I did sow some seeds yesterday hope I have done the right thing after reading this post.

Frost burnt Hydrangea

Hi

I bought two lovely white Hydrangea's about a month ago and being a novice gardener I left them out and think they have frost burn on them. There are a few mopheads damaged and turning brown also some leaves.  Would it be correct to cut off these heads and leaves to encourage new growth there are new flower buds that are fine.

Please help!

Flymo

Hi I have a flymo which is in need of a good clean.  There is a build up of debri under underneath and wondered what the experts use on this forum  to help with the cleaning.  I have looked at Flymo's product but is seem expensive for what it is.  I wondered if there was any other option.  I also wondered if I could use my pressure washer to get rid of the worse of the debri and use a barrier oil of some sort to help stop any debri sticking, or is it good old elbow grease and a good scrub.  

I would be grateful for any suggestions.  

Regards Chris

Thats a shame we are in Bury!!  We will buy a plant and hopefully it will take, many years ago I bought a plant but it didn't do anything so dug it up, perhaps I wasn't patient enough.
