How do I get the lawn back to flat ??


1 part borax, 2 parts sugar, add water to give a thin syrup, place in
upside down yoghurt pot lid or similar on grass above nest, cover with
flowerpot weighted if necessary.

Alternatively, buy some 'Nippon' (which is what the above is,
more-or-less) and proceed as above.
