Moss

should have a fiighting chance of having a fair lawn in the end. That said, laying paving is not such a bad idea in my opinion. Good luck. Moss is a sign of poor drainage and shade so improving the soil structure under the lawn is the best thing to do by Typewriter

sopping wet climbing roses

ago - must be going mad. If they are really just brown spots leave it be - the problem is the weather, and you won't get any improvement until that changes, whatever you do. Just trim it back as normal when dead heading. I agree with Alina, nothing by suziii

Laurel

to try and control it a bit. It may well develop on other laurels as well, but there's definitely no need to remove them - it'll go when the weather improves. Thanks Alina, Like everywhere else it's been proper soggy in Lancs! most of our boarders by Moonlit Hare

chicken manure

the resulting compost as a general soil improver. I think, if i remember right, that if you add it straight to your garden, then it has a alkine ph level, which some plants don't like, but i am not sure. Do not use it directly on your beds, too harsh by MAPS

riding school near would that manure do It does need to be well rotted before you use it. Big advantage with it is that it not only provides nutrients but improves soil structure. If I were you I'd go and have a chat with them. by COGIE

aliums

normal rain this year they should improve next year. To help them along, keep them watered and fed after flowering. Er, hate to disagree, but the time to keep Alliums fed and watered is before they flower. Once the flowers appear, the leaves have done by christine clarke4

mushroom compost

conditioner or as a surface mulch. It's good as a soil improver or mulch on most veg, but especially brassicas. Raspberries prefer more acidic soil so no it's not good on those or other fruit. I wouldn't use it in the runner bean trench unless you're mixing by motorhomer
