FORKERS Sheds
paint, nails and hammer. Pots need washing before storing or they simply wouldn't all fit in. Hooks and nails on the side panels to hang folding chairs and small hand tools. Even the double doors have hooks for regular use tools like rake, hoe, edger by Brumbull

unwanted ivy
sometimes help to bruise some of the ivy leaves a bit, just by whacking with a rake or something - their surface is fairly waxy, making it hard for topical herbicides to penetrate. I also recommend taping a cardboard cone over the spray nozzle by jackie grigg

Gravel Trays
but unsightly, bringing fresh gravel to the top and let it dry out a little by keeping the water low in the gravel trays.My tomato pots sit on a bed of gravel which I take the rake to a couple of times a week disturbing the small seedlings that seem to want by Tina_i_am

Digging fork
fork that's as big as a spade! Just to confuse things more, I have a hand fork which looks like a little rake and to confuse things further still, use it turned upside down, like a hoe, in raised beds, where plants are planted far to close together by Rui Correia

Bosch AVR 1100 verticutter
, It's in like new condition with not a mark on it and was a very reasonable price,. My main intention was to use it for lawn dethatching as I do try to keep a nice lawn and hand raking and a bad back don't go hand in hand. I used it this afternoon to help pick by Norm2

Slimey, mossy courtyard, help please!
for hard surfaces-at least with gravel you can keep raking it over I don't think gravel over tarmac would provide a safe surface - bound to be "skiddy" because the gravel wouldn't be able to settle/bed in.  You can, however, get moss killer-type stuff which by catrinhudson

Mole problem.
work too - any noise the disc makes as it hits the stick must be the reason, I suppose. apart from having to rake/spread the soil back over the surface, a problem arises when the tunnels themselves finally subside & this makes a lawn surface uneven. one by natureboy838

fungis. Remove the sick  leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of your ph. should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil surface. For fungal leaf spots, use a by elizabeth cooley

Lawn Mulching
into the lawn which in turn feeds it-however unless you cut the grass regularly you will eventually end up with a thatch which causes poor growth etc and that needs raking out etc As I say if you are not that bothered about the grass,and it is just a playground by Kenc3

Rotovating Re-Claimed Land
rare occasions, and this is probably one of them. Have fun, and enjoy. I would spray it all with glyphosate. When it's dead it's not hard to rake it all up. Then rotavate. I know it'll take longer but it's worth it. Our lawn used to be an old farmyard by Ian 2
