That made me smile

Time to start watching the web cams this week. A north westerly in the offering. We could be seeing a dusting accross the tops of scottish highlands.

When was the first sleety snow fall of autumn last year. Looking at recent runs on the gfs, quite a couple of runs showing -5 850,s crossing the highlands in fI.

Pressure will be high. Nothing much but some drizzle out of that.

Was this the day the snow fell.

Was watching sky news this morning and this maybe my downfall in asking this question. Nasa boffs say that the sun spot activity is about to explode into action over the next month. And that over the next 5 years our weather will be warmer by 50% a year then the summer of 1998. I thought we were in a cooling period till 2012 at least because of the mauder minium. WHats going on. What am i meant to beleive?

Cheers

You,d have a moss explosion so to speak. The sand is one trick i forgot, How ever there is another way. If your garden is a master peice and dont want to do much destruction. You and drill holes in the lower parts of your lawn done to 3 metres. Like the one,s they use for drill ice. Fill them up with 2.5 metres of stone and compact it dowm with soil. About 6 of them would solve your problem.

Get a good rake and rake out the moss. It should take you a whole day. Get right down to the soil. Then come along with a fork and dig in lifting the said area up about 3 inch,s airating the soil underneath. 1. The raking of the moss gives the grass a better chance of growing 2. The lifting of the sod "Mossy Area", airates the soil, drys it out, takes the heavy wet out of it, Moss will only grow in a damp wet area. Make sure you do the whole lawn. Worst comes to worst. Dig a deep trench down one side of the garden, At least a metre, fill it with small stone or waste stone. Then fill back in. Make sure you dig it on the down slope of the garden. This way the whole lawn area will have a natural drain.

Its dead, i lost my job and im back in ireland. But heading back in may with a differant company.

Working in that sort of weather is painfull. 15 to 20 minutes is all you can stay out in that for , the go back into heat tents to warm up.

Its not dublin john its a place called fort macmurray. I work there. 8 weeks on 2 weeks off rotation.
