  • Hi again Glen you could wait till its a dry day then do a controlled burn.

    Its safe if you do a bit at a time but keep a hose handy just in case.

    I did this myself a few years ago with good results.image

     Hi John, that does sound like a very interesting idea. What sort of things would I need? How would I go about doing it?

  • Hi Glen place a garden hose next to grass to be burned for safety.

    Roll up an old newspaper to use as a torch light it and place on one corner of the dead grass.

    Once alight keep an eye on it. The fire should spread a little at a time.

    Only use the hose if it seems to be getting out of hand..

    Do it on a day when there is no wind all will be well.
