Killed my grass!
giving the lawn a cut I sprayed the weeds with Resolva Weedkiller (24h action), and sure enough in time the weeds turned black as expected.  I then removed the weeds, raked the garden over lightly and kept watering the grass in the dry spells, hoping by pjs2003

Camellia flowers dropping
, last for such a short time before falling off.  Why is this happening to the point that we have to rake the flowers from the bottom of the plant every other day??  Look forward to your thoughts Camellias are very fussy plants and even with the advice by TW

Toadstools on lawn
Can anyone give me some advice on how to clear swathes of small toadstools on my lawn(which is in full sun). I have swept and raked them clear but they reappear in a day or two. Short of digging up the areas involved, is there another solution? No by dmball

Weeds
, so to speak. Some of the weeds are so strong that a rake or hoe will not touch them. I have one of those cultivators. _4 spikes and a centre point. You put it in and turn it round and weeds are dislodged. without gigging. I have a bad back, foot by Suecamp

Killing a lawn and starting again
on the green leaf it touches. Then rake off dead thatch. Otherwise you can dig up the existing grass in turves and turn them over, grass side down, which will be a bit like using green manure. Weedkiller is best if it is full of perennial weeds. Rotovate by sjlawton

lawn
and some fertiliser. Next summer you will be glad you laid new lawn. You can spike the lawn with a fork and rake it then top dress it and sweep the dressing into the holes--this is hard work You can hire/buy a machine to do a similar job Or-next spring when by hortensia4
