Love a bit lawn p0rn. My TikTok feed is full of seasonal lawn care.
Invested quite a bit of time & money last year with a few bulk bags of enriched top soil to dress the lawn along with a shed load of horticultural sand to help with drainage.
The garden I've inherited is quite heavy/clay so I've also had to invest in decent grass seed suitable for wet areas such as red fescue & ryegrass.
I'll be starting again in about 4 weeks, taking plugs out the ground with a hollow tine aerator to allow oxygen in to the roots. Then it'll be a scalping(temperature dependant), a scarify & rake followed by a good seed & feed for the new season.
I've clearly got too much time on my hands but there's nothing better than a healthy lawn that needs cut twice a week in the summer followed by a well deserved cold beer as you sit back and admire your work!
Nothing better eh? Especially on a Friday night in the summer.

My lawn is looking pretty sorry for itself but I’m optimistic for the year. I got a cylinder lawn mower last year that has a scarifying cartridge, can wait to break that out.

Anyone know anything about servicing petrol mowers? Are parts pretty generic?
