'Ellen',

You need a garden besom (broomstick)

and this, when you have mastered the art of using it with a
swinging\sweeping action with your arms outstretched, will amply deal
with the problem.

You can obtain one for about £10 or less from most garden centres.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

I know it is desirable to have worms in the ground but my grass is
just a
mass of little muddy heaps. I dare not walk on it as it just becomes
a
squadge of mud. When the weather becomes drier will it be possible to
remove this before I use the mower ? I have a rotary mower but wonder
if a
'Hover' would be better as the ground is so wet and muddy. Any advice
will
be gratefully received.
Thanks, Ellen
