How to lay artificial grass?
Can someone advise me on how easy it is to lay artificial grass myself? I would need to dig up a smallish back yard which is currently paved with slabs and install the fake grass in an area of roughly 15ft x 20ft. Or is it possible to lay artificial grass on concrete? I’m not worried about the cost for artificial grass so much but is it possible to complete the job on my own in a day and what's the best way do that?

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?
