Well that's the suggestion because we are due for a heat wave Summer and
if you rip up your lawn then you will not be tempted to break the hose
pipe ban.

Who said that? Someone on the Radio a few minutes ago.

So, get digging.


It was Carol Klein who suggested you gave up your obsession with lawns

The most sensible gardening presenter on TV. But then she's a
plantswoman, so she would say get rid of the lawn - as it takes up space
where other, more interesting (or should I just say "interesting" - grass
is not interesting at all) plants can be grown.

Not everyone enjoys a lawn, especially some old folk who have difficulty in
mowing and caring for a lawn. I got rid of one smallish lawn and replaced it
with 2 tons of slate chippings.d now I have pots It looks great anof
various sizes planted.
