one of my family have had a bonfire in the paddock - I am not saying who
but
they know who they are, grrrr - and it has left a biggish patch of
bare/burnt ground, what is the best way to deal with it please

Loosen it, and possibly sprinkle a thin layer of soil on the top.
Then let the grass regrow - you may have to mow it a bit until it
starts to establish. You can sprinkle lawn seed, or even turf it,
but that's overkill for a paddock. Grass establishes naturally
in the UK.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

Thank you Nick, that was the sort of answer I was hoping for, I can handle
that :-)
