I was particularly concerned about winter, when the grass can be too wet to
walk on, and in my ignorance thought there might be even more of them.

As to my lawn being *too* perfect - did you see those porkers passing by in
the air last night?

Incidentally we had new turf laid around the middle of April. It was
'cultivated' and looked really weed free for several weeks, but now the
weeds are proliferating but it says on 'weed and feed', spot weed killers
etc, that you shouldn't use them until the lawn has been down for 6 months.
I'm in a bit of a quandary about this, also.

Best regards and thanks for the reply,
Aileen

The fungus is unlikely to be putting up toadstools during the winter, so
you
won't need to worry about that. If you don't have small children to eat
them, why not just leave them?

At the risk of being controversial, sometimes a lawn can look TOO perfect
and unnatural.

I would have to mow *every day* to keep them out of sight. They grow to
around 3 inches overnight. Oh, how I wish I could eat them sigh.
(perhaps I could, but I'm not 'ready to go' just yet). At the moment I
go
out every morning to pick them and throw them in the bin - won't be much
fun
in the winter, when the grass is wet and soggy:-(

can
someone tell me how to access the archives please?

Just mow reguarly Aileen - that should keep them out of sight. If you
want, you could dig them out by hand carefully, but not worth IMO if
you
are mowing.
