I've spent a fun afternoon will the little'un cleaning the car for the first time since the summer. She loved playing with the hosepipe. Also given me a chance to dry my boot out and try to figure out where the water is getting in.
Currently sitting in the back garden having a beer whilst she runs around. The sun has just dipped over the fence and a bit of a chill now.

Sadly, I'm at that age where I am genuinely interested what a professional needs by way of mowers
I'm guessing a petrol cylinder for those fine lawns and a big old rotary (probably petrol again), but what others do you use ?
Real roller hayer 48pro for those lawns where people like a stripe and lawn resembling a bowling green
Grunt machine that will take a lot of bashing but will keep going and going ....
Mulch machine for a graveyard ...housing estate etc.
Latest edition last year was a Stihl battery machine I originally bought for a new contract where the only access was a six foot wall...but I have used it on a lot
of other small jobs..looks a bit namely pamby though

Mowed mind last week. Time to get out on the allotment and turn some sods.

It's warming up, Ms SN may think about mowing her lawn.
I might have done, but the rugby is on now [emoji23][emoji23]

Very disappointed there's not one of these for a bit of lawnmower envy
But, I have to say, how very Brighton
So what, in your professional opinion, should a lawn look like?Real roller hayer 48pro for those lawns where people like a stripe and lawn resembling a bowling green

Looks good now
Love the smell of cut grass.

pleasing to the eye..but at this time of year uncut..or just lightly trimmed so you get even growth...but honestly I'd wait until next month.
The person in question does have a nice flat lawn and gets people in to feed/weed..scarified etc...I have to cut it one week right to left at a diagonal...next week straight, the third week left to right at a diagonal...then start again...I could go on
Are stripes not pleasing to the eye?

I have to say Trig, your inane ability to focus on the things in life that really really matter is what makes you my favourite pedant
*edit* But maybe lamie summed it up more succinctly
Ignore him, he's an ass.
I'm sorry, I'm not au fait with de rigueur garden design.

To get the spit off.
Mowed in November and again in January. Faversham microclimate. Legendary.

It encourages it to grow ( apparently ) what might be a idea is to actually have grass behind the touchlines , the amount of players including our own that have been injured whilst slipping on the astro/plastic rubbish is evidence enough to bin it .
I shall be topping our field tomorrow. It’s mostly grass!
