59 I have read your answer how to get rid of moss, but I have more questions. My garden had lots of trees around it but they have been cut down, so now i need to deal with the ever growing problem of moss:
1. Do i need to areate or scarify the lawn beforehand?
2. Is it a good time to scarify the lawn now or have i left it just that bit late?
Thanks for the advice,
Lorraine

Hi Gerry would appreciate any help you could give me or pointers in identifying my cactus. I have added the photos to my garden as there was no facility here. The cactus has 4 colums each 3cm in diameter. It is now 6 ft tall. Thanks Passiflora

I have a new lawn for two years now and it is quite good quality.
I would like to work on it over the next few years to try to get it to a standard wher I could use it as a putting green.
Am I wasting my time.
Hi again Gerry.
It's hard to get good advice on leylandii, as most people just say that they're an awful tree, & to get rid of them. However I don't submit to the bad press they get, & planted very young trees, along my external border, with the intention of not letting them grow any higher than 3 meters.
They were bare root when planted in November last. I am slightly concerned that the tips of the branches on quite a few of them are starting to turn an orangey brown colour.
I took a photo of the problem & uploaded it to here: https://xs226.xs.to/xs226/08150/leylandii955.jpg
to show what I mean. Feel free to use the pic for your database if you like.
I hope it's not too serious a problem, & that it can be overcome, as a lot of hard work has gone into planting these trees. Thanks again.
