die hard doonhamer Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My grass is pissing me off at the moment. The whole thing has been taken over by moss. I feel like a pensioner as I Google how best to take care of the lawn, and have gone to the extent of buying a scarifier and aerator in an attempt to sort it. I'm 25, old before my time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a spongy mess that looks like it's been infested with fatty tight alien mossy creatures. I'm not spending a penny till I hear how your efforts go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more a throwaway comment rather than to help with your problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, the worst part for moss has 2 sheds and trees blocking the light on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Tiny bit of fake grass for us in the front garden. Really happy with it. As mentioned, the only downside is the cost. But it sounds like the op is keen. It's a yes from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall from cubs when I did my orienteering badge that moss grows on the north facing side of a tree trunk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've had plenty time to find your way out of Fife then. Where did it all go wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time my navigation skills were lacking was that one time I took a left instead of a right at the big roundabout in Puerto Pollenca, I'll never forget the look on the taxi driver's face as he veered towards the wee ice cream shack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm on PC, I see two patches of 'grass' I thought you were on your usual pun drive. There's only one patch of grass, maybe use mspaint to show me the second one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
