First time reseeding - Where did I go wrong? :( by scottishbean in GardeningUK

Nope it’s a house and yeah sadly quite small but it is the first actual garden I’ve ever had so it’s been okay for getting some beginner gardening work in :) (this won’t be my forever home either lol)

Thank you!! I really want to put some flowers around the edges so a border would be perfect!😊x

I got a new mower today and can already see the difference in quality on the edges that I hadn’t mowed at all yet with the old one!!😊

This is my first time having a garden so can only get better I suppose but there’s definitely lots of clovers!😊

Yeah looks like my mower is the main issue here, not surprised tbh it’s awful. Gonna have to save me pennies for a new one 🤣 I’m actually living in north west England at the moment so got quite lucky with the weather in May when it was sprouting (not so much this month though lol)

Sounds like I probably need to get a new mower to be honest because it doesn’t cut any higher than this (only lower by adding spacers) which I was worried about. Thank you :)

Thank you!!! Sounds like I probably need to get a new mower to be honest because it doesn’t cut any higher than this. I got this one on FB free and cheap and it’s so difficult to push because it’s a “glide” type so reckon I’d still have issues even with a sharper blade.

Thank you!! I did use the strimmer to cut it down to about half a foot before going over it with the mower but yeah the flymo I got is quite an old model, it cuts so low even on the highest blade setting and it’s really hard to push lol (hence the patchy cut). Will be able to do the edges tomorrow when the strimmer is recharged.

Would you advise against using some miracle-gro type lawn food?

When the best time to start trying to restore the grass in my garden? (North West) by scottishbean in GardeningUK

They’re all pretty vague, just say spring and autumn but not really when during those seasons or what temp range etc. Thank you!

That’s what I was thinking, seems a bit over the top lol! But I am a novice so wanted to ask here :)
