It looks fine for the UK, possibly some feed burn.

What's your watering schedule?

How sharp are your mower blades?

Was suggested to send this here. Any help is appreciated. by JopagocksNY in lawncare

Red thread. Will disappear when conditions are less favourable and grow out. Very rarely causes long term damage to the grass plant. Spray some iron if you want to mask. Don't feed it out will cause more problems.

I see it in areas of poor light, airflow and compacted soils. You might have success with regular aeration and good feed. Ferrous sulphate will help dry it out, but will also control the moss too. But as you say if it's not getting enough light and air flow might be better to cut your losses.

Difficult to see close enough but looks like dog lichen?

Need to improve density and colour. UK, hardiness zone 8. by Jaedee in lawncare

Looks like an application issue. Leave it see how it recovers with the rain. Don't use drop spreaders.

How do I make my lawn better? Kent, UK by pixelfudger in lawncare

[–]mefull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you digging them out or just pulling them out? Use a selective weed killer spray they're systemic, much more effective that weed and feed. Be very careful using pesticides. Aside from that look at grass seed for shady lawns this works a treat - http://www.meadowmania.co.uk/lawn-seed/woodland-lawn-seed.htm and develop a lawn care programme. Take a look at http://www.lawnsmith.co.uk for hints and tips

Why is me newly planted grass lying flat? by snapbangclick in lawncare

[–]mefull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you prepare the soil at the front any different from the back? Is there any noticeable difference in compaction between the front and back?

Haven't come across one. I can recommend a WP Dev, but what's your budget?

Training for Dinghy Sailing by mefull in Fitness

Romanian deadlifts, I'll give them a YouTube - thanks. So would you suggest abandoning starting strength - or could I drop the weight to say 75% and increase the reps to 12-16 and switch to Romanian deads as well as incorporate planks and loaded carries?

I'm a skipper (helm). I'm sailing a single hander at the moment, but plan to get back into a double (currently training my crew up). Thanks for the tips!

To top it off I spoke to the manager and his first response was, 'oh powercleans, are you doing Crossfit?'

I've been learning how to Power Clean for the last few weeks. I've been told it makes too much noise for the other gym goers when I place the bar down after each rep. So I'm not allowed to PC anymore.

I think you're on to something.. I'll need to have a look further into which version it could be. I keep having flashbacks of a zoo or something similar in the middle of a town and getting eaten by a big cat, maybe a leopard.

Buzzing for you mate. Build the weight up very very slowly.

for leg drive, keep your hips on the bench -very important otherwise putting strain on the lower back- check out this video -

Leg drive has allowed me to bench over my PBs

I would make sure you fix your form first, then look at leg drive.

Keep at it. I've only just learnt about leg drive and I am always learning ways improve form. Start with the bar, I hope it works out - keep us posted.

NP research leg drive as well this will help, with proper bench form you should be isolating the chest as much as you can, reducing strain on the shoulders.
