I had some turf delivered once and asked the bloke if he had any laying tips. He said " yes mate, green side up!"

I was sat outside my local watering hole with my pal and a truck with a load of lawn turf passed by and I remarked that I'm going to do that when I win the lottery , he said " what get your lawn professionally turfed " I replied no I'm going to get it sent away to get cut!!! 😋😋😂😂

This garden is lovely unlike that at his House in Alderney, Channel Islands which is rather unkempt, but then again the Alderney house isn’t kept for the enjoyment of the garden rather it’s kept for the enjoyment of knowing one is paying far less tax than his neighbours in Medstead, England. After all he is a BBC presenter.

Why not just get a roller

@diverdave4056 Жыл бұрын

come on now .. buy - rent or borrow a roto tiller ! once you laid the new sod ... use your pitch fork and punch a load of hole in all of the pieces of sod , it helps to allow the water to flow to the roots of the grass and it helps to break up the firmly pack soil of the sod !

What do you do if your turf isn't good quality 😟

@martinharrison1504 4 жыл бұрын

All the turf-laying guides I've found so far seem to skip the process of levelling the ground first when it's very bumpy and uneven. With a big area you just can't do this by eye and feel. I think it's going to prove to be a bit technical and involve spirit levels, pegs, string and very long lengths of timber? Any tips anyone?

A serrated bread knife would be a far better for cutting the edges.,,,,,,,, plus i thought you had to remove then bigger stones? If Alan can't answer these questions there should of been a gardening expert to man this topic to answer our questions.

alan Titmarsh,Alan I bought a Dwarf lilac tree though Groupon about Three/ four years ago..I'm very happy with this shrub,it flowers very nice every year.. I was checking my Garden plants when I noticed that it appeared that another plant is grown by this Dwarf Lilac shrub.I didn't plant myself..I followed the stem down to the ground,when I realised that it was in fact grown out of The lilac tree..this bears no reselblence to Lilac shrub,the leaves are completely different from The Lilac,although it is grown out of the Lilac.Is this unusual,or does it happen,on a regular basis I would be very interested in your reply.Yours truely.Thomas O'Brien.

Hi my name is Samantha, can i use weed killer before laying down the turf ?

@Zaneoo7 6 жыл бұрын

Samantha De Jonge Hi This May be to late for you now but I wouldn’t recommend doing that as the weed killer will be soaked in the soil, which will taint the newly layed turf as certain weed killers won’t distinguish between weed/grass/plants.

@steviemax147 8 жыл бұрын

Lol a much easier way to compact the soil is to lay an mdf board on the soil and walk on it, 10 times quicker and looks much better and is far more level. Come on Alan!
