Title: my lawn - an update
Post by: adam04 on July 20, 2005, 21:29:13

Hi all. Just thought i would let you know how the lawn is going on after i dug half of it up a few weeks ago. Just needs a seed i think now, and a bit more TLC.

Healing up nicely Adam.  Lovely lot of lights, something my garden lacks.  Very nice indeed!

thanks emma, the lights are low voltage, so very easy to put in. £20 for 6 from B&Q, they came with a sensor so they turn on as soon as it beins to go dark and the transformer etc. 7W bulbs so cheap running, perfect. just plg and play all most.  ;D

It's looking good Adam, have you been watering it? We've got a hosepipe ban here and our lawn is looking a little stressed, getting large brown patches all over, its so disheartening. Like EJ says, I like your lights, they bring the garden to life in the evenings. We recently bought some solar lights and they work a treat, wonder why it took us so long to buy them.  :)

hey jesse, yes im watering it. live in manchester so hosepipe ban shouldnt be here for a bit, if at all. Plus the rain slowly keeps coming. the front lawn still has damp patches from weeks ago because of the amount of rain we get :S
