Lawn Update

Last week's spiking has had some effect. But things are progressing very slowly.

And it's patchy. Some parts are normal; others still rock hard. This is no use for growing. We want all one or all the other. Only then shall we know where we stand.

Decided to fork lawn all over, in rows 10 cm (4 inches) apart, to a depth of 15 cm (6 inches). I then got the hosepipe and filled up the holes a couple of times with water, then applied an inch of water with the sprinkler.

It's much better now. Funny, but I'm sure I could see the lawn growing as I performed this task. Shows how much grass appreciates water and air. This job is rather boring. But in a strange sort of way, I rather enjoy it.

At least we have some defence against a drought and hosepipe ban, now.
