    Just bumping this up for a new poster looking to create a new lawn image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I am currently digging out the front borders and laying some lawn edging, would it be worth me putting down some bark mulch, I plan to dig all the existing life from the borders with a view to plant bedding plants next year.

    Lol, I mowed it Friday evening, Just taking the very top off, I was anxious about it, but done it anyway, I also mixed the last of my seed with some lose topsoil and spread it over the bare patches, I will add no more seed until spring now, I must say it is looking good.

    On A side note, how often should I mow it at this early stage?

    Should I allow the clippings to return to the lawn or collect them in the lawnmower box?

     My mower will cut at 20, 40, and 60mm

    Many thanks buddyboy. The support I have had on this forum has kept me going.

    How lovely to have done all that for your family image

    Thanks guys, Buddyboy has been really patient with me from the beginning, I am now looking forward to next year when I can achieve the other bits I wanted to do, I never thought I would say this but I think I may have the bug.

    Lawn is looking fabulous Mr Toast. Patience is a virtue (not that us gardeners have very much of it!).
