    I’m wanting so artificial grass laying, I’ve a bit of spare space that I’ve managed to clear the weeds out but wanting something with minimal upkeep, any recommendations? Cheers mi deers

    It's sad that artificial grass is becoming so popular :(

    It's of course your choice but please.... if you can avoid it, please please do.

    There is so much plastic making its way into our world, in our water, our soil, our food and we're only starting to be aware of the impact. The losses of biodiversity are really worrying. So many bird species impacted. Butterfly numbers down. Insect numbers down. Soils being less rich and nutritious.

    Could you grass it, could you let it go wild to attract some nature? Could you somehow offset somewhere else or create some area of wild?

    But of course I fully respect your choices, your circumstance and your needs.

    At least he won't have any Rats attracted by eating grass seeds climbing up his drain pipe and nesting in his loft.

    I’ve taken people’s advice and decided against artificial grass…and decided to tarmac it instead I feel a better person already

    I’m just trying to make it easier for my gardner/maintenance man, he’s spending too much time on the garden and not enough time on the upkeep of my pool

    Did you watch Not Going Out last week? That was a funny episode featuring an artificial lawn. Burns well!
