Hi there,

Over two weeks ago I had a gardener lay some lovely looking new turf in
my garden. I am not sure exactly what type of turf it was but it was the
runner type and the gardener refereed to it as 'professional' if that
helps...

As advised, I watered the turf every evening for two weeks and was
rewarded with a really plush green lawn. It seemed that the turf
responded really, really well to the new top soil. After two and a half
weeks it was time to mow the lawn so I borrowed my neighbors mower and
went to work.


You have a lawn, but no lawn mower?


Only when the job was finished did I realise that his mower was actually
a scarifier and it cut the blades of grass down very, very low.


I usually check behind the mower to see what's happening to the grass. I
would have noticed that it was set too low before I got a couple of feet
into the job.


Am I the only one here with this "Mr. Bean" image in my head now?

Can I yell MOVIE in a crowded firehouse?
