I have used Shell energy since we moved here and they've been fine; however, I recently received an email from Octopus energy but deleted it as I thought it was a scam. Apparently they've taken over Shell energy customers and I've had no notification of this. Cue panic! Just been on Octopus website and had to set up my account which I did, then found my energy usage part and been told I was recommended to reduce my monthly payments by quite a lot as I am in credit but I didn't think I was that much to warrant it. Anyone else had this experience? 

Jezza, I've always  been taught that you only scarify the lawn in autumn so the grass tillers then start to spread sideways as they should but, if it works for you, then that's fine. I do agree with the rest especially raking out the dead moss and aerating the lawn to help with drainage. If it's in the shade, that can be a continuing problem. Not sure what the white flowering stuff is though.

You need an 'ad blocker' on your phone Jezza..

Which is why this site will either be gone or be behind a paywall in 2 years.

Soddages plus oven chips and veg. Quick fix after a big gardening day
