The message
from Alan Alan@WilliamsHQGet orf moiland.fsnet.co.uk. contains these words:
I have had some building work done and the builders have had their
mixers and stores on a part of my lawn.
It is now bare and rather sandy with builders sand, over the normal
clayish soil.
Do I aerate, feed,rake and hope or should I reseed/returf it to save
time.
You won't be putting the deckchairs out just yet, I guess? I'd rake the
sand and stuff in and leave it. It'll recover quickly enough. Probably.
If the stuff has been there so long it's killed the roots, then some
seed and a sprinkling of sand and fine peat to (just) cover it will
restore it, though you'll be lucky if the two bits match exactly. (Which
is why I say try leaving it for a bit.)

Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar.
