Hi all,

I think that I've missed the boat
regards sowing a new lawn from seed and to
be honest, I would prefer to lay turf.... but.... being currently
unemployed
means that I don't have the funds to buy turf.

Grass must be greening up nicely at this time of year.

According to your website you've already spent over £3,000 on materials
for the garden and you have a list of further items you would like other
people to donate, each item specified with its cost, furniture, lights
and
parasol etc; the "donations" request list amounts to close to a further
£2000. Making a total of £4,871.04.

The good news is that being unemployed, you have plenty of time to rake
stones and prepare your very tiny lawn, and hand water it after seeding.
So go forth, and cast your seed upon the ground.


Tinme he joined Delft Freecycle, where in the last few weeks there
have been requests for

- complete furnishings for an empty flat PLUS clothes and trainers
sizes provided.
- a working laptop
- a kettle BBQ


All this strikes me as the most incredible cheek except in cases of real
*need*, as opposed merely to "I want".
