    postcrete binding to blockwork

    I have metal railings to put up and the posts are put in the ground type. The railings are to go over a 1 brick height decorative type breeze block. My question to you all please is, if I cut out a section of the block and watertight frame it, will the postcrete bind to the blockwork, as wouldn't want it to fall out from between the blocks. Thanks

    Grass growing after decking removal

    My family and I moved into a new house recently. There is old decking at the end of the garden and we’d prefer to have an all grass garden. If we have the old decking removed, is there any chance that grass will grow again there? My partner and I asked the previous owners and they said the decking has been there since the early 2000s. Or we will have to install artificial grass instead?

    Advice on using a rotavator and roller

    I have a light-duty garden rotavator which I am planning to put to use on my lawn sometime in the spring, maybe February or March, depending on what the weather is like. I’m also thinking of buying a lawn roller at some stage. Should I wait a certain period of time between using a rotavator and lawn roller in my garden? Also, should I consider using a roller before rotavating instead?
