Don’t worry about the grass mate. That and any seed go dormant bellow 5° anyways. That times is coming fast and patch it rather than seed, that will keep the weeds out. Cut a bigger patch than you need and cut away the roll already down. You don’t want to put a slither in if you’ve goat a spare roll. Keep off it and cut in March/April next year.

I used to work for a landscaper who wouldn't use a piece of turf smaller than a foot. In hot weather the small pieces just shrivel and die. Carter is right about don't seed it. The grass is likely to be difficult than the turf. Glad to see it coming together ❤️

The garden is looking good, nothing wrong with laying turf in the autumn, its mild enough that it will still be growing and will take root. To get a smaller blend of slate chuck it in the mixer with a couple of bricks for 20 mins and it will tumble it down.

I think there’s a genuine problem in today’s world of the younger lads not being able to deal with constructive criticism. I learned more life lessons from my old gaffers when starting out than all my years at school. The lads today just can’t take it the same which is a shame as it’s a great motivator. Garden looks great. Always feels great getting the wins from stuff taken off jobs. Have a great week all 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻

@ There will definitely be a time when he realises it’s a lesson learned & he’s better for it. Nothing wrong with expecting a decent days graft when you know they’re capable of it. From what we see on here, I’d love for my lads to learn from the team at Mr A & I’m sure a lot of the other viewers would say the same 👍🏻

The garden is looking pukka Adam. Nothing wrong with laying the lawn in October/November as it’s still mild, just keep it wet for 2 weeks and give it a minimal cut after 4 weeks. Very enjoyable video 🙂👍
@Mr_A_Builders
@Mr_A_Builders 3 часа назад
Ahhh...a minimal cut you say? That helps does it? That'll be about the beginning of December, would that be ok?
@tkthebear984
@tkthebear984 3 часа назад
@ yes first or second week in December should be fine as long as the lawn is established. For the very first cut, have your mower set to the highest setting and only remove the tips of the grass, chose a day when the grass is dry or slightly damp and make sure the rotor blades are really sharp 👍

A splash of bleach, fairy liquid and hot water watered on with a watering can with a rose end on is all I ever use. A quick scrub with a broom then wash off the next day with a normal hose. The fairy sticks the bleach, allowing it to kill the algae overnight.

The garden looks ace Adam! Lots of graft and recycling of materials which is a good way of doing it. I know what you mean about it not working if you change hands! 😮😉 I roared at the dribbling sprayer, it happens when we get old! 😂 Have a great weekend and see you next week at the bungalow.

@Mr_A_Builders I rarely hang on to stuff as I find there is never enough to actually be useful. If I ever take out half decent salvageable stuff like upvc doors, period timber pannel doors, Belfast sinks, victorian cast iron bedroom fireplaces etc then I list it on ebay with a short auction and buyer collecting. Very easy to get swamped with stuff too good to throw that gets piled up otherwise.
