I bought a house in the Ferry in the 90’s and the Vetch groundsman Harold Woolacott lived down the road.
He used to call in for a cuppa and advise on the lawn.
It was like a f*cking bowling green. :lol:

Lovely for you.

Someone at the Vetch should have offered him a cuppa because the pitch was a f*cking mudbath.

Did he recommend sand or topsoil?

Judging by the state of the Vetch pitch towards the end of the season I'm going for sand

God bless HW by the way

Good quality turf, more expensive but better, in my opinion.
Got to prepare the soil well to have the best results.

My front lawn needs a major overhaul and theres areas at the back that are shaded, being overtaken by mind your own business (bstard stuff). So I read up on the best approach to reseeding and one website recommended digging 25cm down.

I don't think my scarifier will manage that.

Was it because no-one was allowed to use it other than 2 hours on a Sat afternoon?

Just buy twice as much as you need and lob all over is my current strategy after i murdered it with mosskiller. Does anyone remember that it was rumoured that the turf for Wembley was from Penclawdd?

Yeah, I remember the Wembley thing, sea washed turf from Penclawdd. The the story morphed into, a quarter of the pitch was from Penclawdd, a quarter from England and so on.
