Got the first cut of the grass of the year in there. Was like a meadow.
Will you atart the bees this year fagan?
Not this year bucko.
I’ve a couple of small lawns I want to turn over. Would this do the trick for me. It’s under €100, don’t want to spend too much on something I’ll used just the once.
Would you be as well off to hire a proper rotivator for a day?
Absolute rot. Will do fuck all work for you.

You’d only be cutting up weeds with a yoke like that. Then they’ll sprout again.
Do it strip by strip. Remove the top sod and bury it upsidedown in the previously dug strip. Move across like that. You don’t need to dig too deep. Just enough to cover the sod. Obviously you’d have to put the first one on a footpath or the like.

Beds cleared, mountain of compost applied, seeds planted and we’re back in business. I’m looking forward to a particularly good harvest this winter.

It should be noted that the world’s greatest TV program, Gardeners World, is back for a new season. Monty’s box hedging has been decimated so it will be interesting to see what he does to replace it.
It’s not good news on the box unfortunately.
You’ll find out in six months.
First big gardening day of the year. I’ve the strawberries, herbs and chillies planted and I’ll do the potatoes next.

Everything has germinated, apart from the Parsley (I’m having awful trouble with the Parsley this year). The netted frame for the Brassicas is up and we’re on our way to a bumper winter harvest.
