Now is certainly a good time of the year to do it but be aware scarifying is not a cure for all lawn ills. It is beneficial and should be done annualy. If your lawn is not too big then ( say less than 75 sm, then it is worthwhile investing in a hand scarifier like a Florabest or Wolf Gatren for about 30 quid.


I'd also suggest you look to use a selective ( ie broad leaf) weed killer before hand. Also it really pays to aerate your lawn with a fork to a depth of 100mm. Then why not go the extra mile and spread a little of top dressing with a some grass seed to brush into the fork holes.


Do all these things and your lawn will improve dramatically. Scarifying alone is not a miracle cure-just one part of a range of measures.

      Dog Poop in Dulwich

      By se22 · Posted

      Dog licenses were abolished in 1987. Before Britain changed to decimal currency they cost 7 shillings and 6 pence which became 37p. They were scrapped as they were unenforceable and cost more to collect than they raised.

      Has anyone had food poisoning from icecream at a local cafe? (name removed)

      This was posted last Saturday by Jb. "No the collections were separate, although both funds transferred to his brother, Asif. You could pop in and speak to his brother if you wanted more details but I believe they plan to fund a well in Africa. Thanks if you donated, the brothers were very grateful and touched."

      it would seem very likely that they are trying it on if it their area - ie not a responsibility of the freehold. The freehold would cover the building structure (walls, foundation, roof) - possibly freeholder would have responsibility for the front door - if so, does the freeholder have the windows? Usually grey area in a lease so you could look at past instances - who has paid for window replacement, front door to be painted etc?

      Thanks for these comments. Very helpful. The porch and hallway shows on their lease plan but we share the freehold together.
