    Recommended brands for concrete rollers

    I am planning to buy a lawn roller next month. I’ve been researching different types of rollers and I’ve read about the many benefits of a solid concrete roller. I’ve had a good look online and they seem to be few and far between. I found a few products for sale on eBay and that was about it. Are there any brands you’d recommend I check out who still sell concrete rollers? Or are they no longer being produced?

    Can you have different coloured grass?

    Can you dye the grass in your garden a different colour? Is this safe and is it even legal? I was thinking of creating an alien-look back garden with maybe blue glass (blue neon would be sensational if possible) and adding fake alien-looking plants throughout to create a unique garden environment.
