I know what a scarifier is due to my gelfing days.

Both my hoses are connected to my 'two hose tap' now ready for sprinkler duties.

Right then, that is business taken care of. Vet’niry followed by - of all places - an actual bank.

Yes I did know what they are. I am monitoring my front lawn closely at the moment as there are a few mossy areas that I am trying to deal with at the moment using that lawn feed pellet stuff.

Not everyone is an ex-groundsman, of course, jeffian.

I expect Michael "2 lawns" G1 does.

Sounds like something from a horror movie!

[avatar333] 09/5/2024 11:08

I wonder if anyone else knew what one was?

[jeffian] 09/5/2024 11:07

Should have asked your Ton Man, A333!

I think you told me it was, mate. That's good enough for me.

Thanks, jeffian.

What is a lawn scarifier?

A lawn scarifier is a machine that removes thatch – a fine layer of old grass stems, dead moss and other debris like leaves that gets compacted in your lawn over time. It can stop water and nutrients getting to the soil below and stops the grass rooting properly - and can even suffocate them.

It could have been mate.

#9060,

No, but they did supply the scarifier and rake elements the next day after the order, so I suppose i could drag those around on a piece of string.

It was Mr Fox who first called it 'rona', wasn't it, MG?

Further to #9058, when I went into the car park to find the Audi with it's alarm going off, hazard lights flashing and rear bumper hanging off, I looked at the Belgian lady who had moved her car away and refused to make eye contact. I pointed to my damage with a questioning look and she just shrugged and adopted a 'butter-wouldn't-melt' look, as if she had no idea how it happened. Her husband and I knew because he had been standing next to me at the hotel checkout and we watched it happen on the hotel security camera above the desk!

Any sign of your new mower, jeffian?

A hair product update - I have been trying Jonny's Chop Shop Textured salt spray for a few days now.



Am impressed - barnet getting a bit long now and it provides a surfer type look - recommended:

CONDITION & STIMULATE - Our gritty, texturizing salt spray gives a rough and ready finish - with added vitamins to condition and treat hair.

ADDED TEXTURE & VOLUME - For a rough and ready surfer look, add texture and volume with Johnny's Trigger Happy Texturising Salt Spray.

CAFFEINE & PRO VITAMIN B - With added caffeine & Pro Vitamin B, it won't weigh hair down, leaving hair conditioned and styled.

HOW TO USE - Aim and fire at wet or dry hair. The more you use the grittier the finish. Our Texturising Salt Spray is fragranced with our signature barbershop scent of Citrus, Cedarwood, and Patchouli.

#9052,

A few years ago, I put in a 'no fault' claim against a Belgian bloke whose wife had whacked my unattended parked car in a hotel car park. He gave full details which I passed on to my insurers. My insurers insisted on using their own repairers who patched and resprayed the broken bumper on my Audi estate (should have been replaced) and then tried to charge me for it on the grounds that the amount was less than my 'excess'! It got sorted out in the end but it was a lot of hassle and the 'repair' was never quite right. As you say, not worth it unless major issues involved. I have found a very good 'under the arches' repairer (who gets a lot of main dealer/insurer work sent to him anyway!) and he sorts out any minor stuff for me for cash.
