Hi,

Just moved into a new house after a lengthy contract exchange. During
the time taken from signing for the house, and moving in, the lawn
(which appeared fine when we bought it) had grown to the point
where it
was over 30/40cm in height.
snip

Is it a new house as in newly built? If that's the case, or indeed,
if a
lot of renovations/alterations have been done, is it possible builders
have left rubble and general gunge in that area and someone has simply
sown seed over the top? And have you also checked that particular area
isn't more wet or boggy generally than other parts of the lawn? If it's
not draining properly, that might be doing this. Is it a newly sown
lawn
and was there a prolonged dry spell, if so? If it wasn't watered when
new, that could cause problems.



I would also add to that the possiblity of 'dog' troubles - either
bitch or vixen. The fence is quite high, so more likely a fox which is
able to take such a fence in its stride. I suggest this because I see
something remarkably like a bone in the left foreground.

Time for new specs - I thought it was a bit of hosepipe!


I've never seen a white hosepipe. Perhaps you should take a colour
blindness test, while you're at it! :~))

Probably a faded yellow hose, but you get white hose on washing
machines, and after all all you can see is a few inches of it.
