    Elbow grease I'm afraid :( that looks like couch grass, which is evil :mad: scrape the top layer off, pile that layer upside down and let it compost for a year. The rest- dig it over throughly, pulling up any bits of root that you find as you go along. You have to be really thorough with that because a 1cm pice of root will grow again, which is why you shouldn't rotivate it. As Enterprise has "helpfully" :p suggested, I'm happy to come take a look with you :)

    Both of mine started off like that :eek:. With the first one, it was a case of clear and plant, clear and plant but that was because of the time of year. The second one we've been trying to do the chicken run and clear as we go along.



    Wise words :T:D

    Oooooppssie :o

    I am on 543 in dreamworld, frustrating is not the word :eek:

    I'm miles behind that, on level a hundred and something.
    Not impressed, turned my back for 2 minutes and little un has just used all my gold to purchase extra moves :mad:
    Oh well, I suppose once it's gone the little beggar can't do it again!
    Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    At least it didn't cost money! Just goes to show how easy it is for kids to run up huge bills on in-ap purchases, they simply don't think, it says do you want to buy extra moves, they want extra moves, job done :( I have never registered a card to anything like that, my grandson ran up a £100 bill at the age of 3 because his dad had put a card into Apple and it just took it (they got it back and de-registered!).

    Happy St Patrick's Day.
    My plans for a pint of Guinness with my Irish buddy after work today have been thwarted by my OH :( was looking forward to it as well.

    My Q Christmas bonus is now safely tucked up in my back account :D also got a cheque through this morning with a refund for car tax on my old car. I didn't think I was due anything back so that was a nice wee surprise.

    Back to work for me today so off to fuel up on coffee before I start.

    Have a good day.

    Exactly, this was just free gold I had sat in my account, it's my fault for leaving the game running while I was out of the room :o
    Our iTunes account has no linked card so we know the kids can't run up any bills
    We never spend real money on online games :) (apart from the dlc DS bought for his wii with his own money)
