Tiny 7 1,694 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Can honestly say mate. Mine twiced as wide and must be at least 5 6 times (and tbh might be a touch more) longer. And mines nothing but grass and high maintenance hedge work willow trees cheery trees and bottom 1/3rd high conifers. .. feels like I live in the garden summer monthssti k a couple of goats on it they will cut grass for you Iv thought about it tbh. Nearly got the girls an horse for the garden last yr only thing with mine everything must go through the side of the utility room on the house so get rid of horse mucks a no no. Cause iam about the 6th last house of the village horses goats wouldn't be a problem. .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haymin 2,465 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 If your putting stones down just get rid of the green the best you can then lay tram down then edge it all with sarkin (wood ) when your placing sarkin down make sure the tram is underneath , you may be better to go round edges first to make a small channel fir the tram if that makes sense ?it needs kinda levelled out first mate. The intention is too build a 2 or 3 brick wall round the edge of the 'mud' to keep the shillies in place it will make a cracking bit for table and chairs. As in the summer it gets plenty of sunshine I think it'll be like that next year as well lol ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 A lad quoted me 300quid to rotivate it and seed it seems pricey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I could hire a rotivator. 40 quid. And seed it myself. But then theres the issue of keeping 3hairy arsed lurchers off it when its growing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 No chance. Hire one buy seed in bulk shouldn't cost you next to nothing. Weather the way it is should be up in no time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Shillys, shillies, shitties, what the feck are you on about and what a load of old shit.... Cheap, nasty, Ground Force bollocks, stoning ground, that fecking Tommy Walsh, Alan Tithead and co have a lot to answer for.... Stone gets kicked all over the place, leaves and other shite bed in it and eventually weeds grow and hey presto, back to square one but this time it ain't so easy to sort..! It only looks nice when its in a big curve on the driveway of a stately home. On the average drive or garden it looks as it is, cheap and nasty! No need for a rotovator on a patch like that. Turn it over in ten mins with a spade, sift the weeds and any stone out and rake it smooth. Either turf of seed the big bit, then once its done a mow will take you 10 mins a week from April to October. The two smaller bits, lob in some easy perennials. Cottage garden favorites are best, Delphiniums, Hollyhocks, Lilly's, Lupins etc. You get a big summer show and by October you've cut em all down to nothing, leave 'em and next year they come right back and better. All done once a year only... Dead easy! How fecking hard is that? Nice little lawn, big bold show on the flowers and beers cracked and folk round for a barbie.... Hey, your a fecking gardener... !!!
