Message: [QUOTE="Oliver Buckle, post: 231066, member: 12649"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gardening-forums.com/threads/know-any-gardening-jokes.[/URL] We have been in this house two years now and my lawn is far from perfect still, however the missus says she can now walk comfortably on it with bare feet. I am going the right way, but these things take time. My experience is that quick fixes, like chemical fertiliser and weedkiller, do not give such satisfactory or long lasting results as more traditional ones like green manure, compost, scarifiers and wire rakes. Don't overdo the fertilizer, read what the manufacturer says on the packet, twice as much is not only not twice as good, it may actually be harmful. I usually treat things I can see and know are wrong rather than trying to anticipate. PS sorry about the joke, but it illustrates, patience is everything. [/QUOTE]
