Sorry to hear that. I have a mate living in the UK. Now I better understand his concerns, but I think his problems will get worse as he is soon to move to London. Well, maybe in London moss is not that much of an issue.

Evening all

Very warm this afternoon so I had no excuse and did sort out the grass with a clear up and mower and clippers.

To be honest, the moss wasn't as bad as I feared and, in fact, less than in the last couple of years. I always spike it in the autumn but with the London clay underneath it needs tearing up and putting some gravel or something to help the drainage. You can imagine what I say to that idea.

I saw the difference when they dug up Lord's a couple or so years back. The old drainage was completely useless. The whole network was blocked with clay. Now it has about a metre and a half of various layers including such things as horse hair to stop future compression. A system developed by Football clubs.

And, last year when there was a 'monsoon' and in half an hour the ground was looking like a lake, and an hour and a half later it was ready for play again.

Traveller is alive and well, sends his regards, he will be back soon.

Morning all
I am willing to supply pairs of Moles
it might help with lawn drainage
For those afflicted with poor drainage I also have a dog that loves to scratch at the lawn thus scarifying it with no effort on your part

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA PACHI
