Yes, the 15% usually does the job. I apply it with an old watering can rather than spraying it, for the reasons you state. Wellies, old clothes and rubber gloves are essential.
My handyman arrives at 8.30 am tomorrow. I’ve done the lawns myself but haven’t got the time for hedges, tree cutting, fence painting, etc. It will be a few hundred quid well spent.Get a hired hand in to do this sort of stuff? Its less hassle at our time of life
I enjoy doing it. There may come a time when I won’t be able to but u til then,,,Get a hired hand in to do this sort of stuff? Its less hassle at our time of life
That’s very true. My old man is getting to an age where he cannot keep up with the garden, and I can sense his sadness about not being able to look after his pride and joy.
After reading that, I think I’ll cut mine this week, before it does start getting to knee height. It’s not too bad at the moment, considering it hasn’t had a cut this year yet, only a few inches high really, but I would imagine now the weather is getting warmer, next spot of rain, it will start to grow a lot faster.
I have to admit I'm still of an age where I should do the grass cutting and weeding ect, but would rather pay someone to do it. Basically, I'm not green fingered and the wife has bad knees.
Go for it whilst you can!
I saw the Countryfile weather and there’s no sign of rain for the foreseeable future. A dry week ahead.
Time is my issue. No physical limitations and I enjoy it once I’m out there doing it. Whatever our ability, let’s all hope for a proper summer.I have to admit I'm still of an age where I should do the grass cutting and weeding ect, but would rather pay someone to do it.

Fair enough really I know plenty of people who do that. Everyone’s different and gardening is a thriving business so food luck go to ‘em. I had a man round to trim my bushes at the start of march. I enjoy mowing and strimming but anything that requires creativity, shaping or precision is out of my league.I have to admit I'm still of an age where I should do the grass cutting and weeding ect, but would rather pay someone to do it.

The wife has done ours and the paving stones going around our garden. She is doing the deiveway in the week.Probably needs it's own thread, but got the old pressure washer out this morning, that's the patio done. Just a million other things to do now.
Decent patio slabs are ridiculous prices these days. I put decking down about twelve years ago and it’s got one, possibly two summers of life left in it. When it gives up the ghost the spend on slabs is inevitable.
Basically my job in the garden is to clean up after the 30kg dog has a shyt in between walks
.
My dog is only 10kg but seems to expunge half his body weight out there daily despite two walks most days. Shit machine.Basically my job in the garden is to clean up after the 30kg dog has a shyt in between walks
The lady gardener won't do this apparently
