Top tips to create a wonderful lawn

by MarK Keevil

NOW is the ideal time to give your lawn an overhaul to ensure it remains in the peak of health over the coming spring and summer months.

Often the centrepiece that sets off spectacular flowering borders, and links patio to pond and sundeck to shrubbery, the lawn is frequently the least cared-for feature in the garden. We spend hours digging, weeding and pruning the borders but how much time is spent on the largest part of the garden, the lawn? Sadly, it’s the lawn’s condition that often detracts from the overall beauty of our gardens.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are six tips from Green Thumb, the UK’s largest professional lawn care company, to get your lawn off to a flying start.

1. Clean up. Rake away those dead leaves, twigs and branches. The less debris on the lawn, the healthier it’ll be, not to mention the real benefit from increasing its exposure to sunlight.

2. Lawns don’t like shade. Take a good look at those border plants, shrubs and trees – they all have a habit of encroaching on the lawn’s space and weakening it by denying it light. Then … get the secateurs out!

3. Check your mower is up to the job - it’s not too late to get it serviced. Make sure the blade is sharp and keep it that way by buying a spare and swapping it over as the season progresses. Remember cutting it too low will put the grass into stress and set it back - just when you want to encourage it.

4. The ground starts to warm now so it’s a good time to repair those bare patches that always appear over winter. Carefully rake the patch to create a bed, sow the seeds with a little top-soil and don’t let them dry out.

They’ll germinate in a few days. Don’t mow or feed them until a few weeks have passed and they’re well established.

5. Check out the weeds. If hand-picking isn’t your thing and you don’t fancy buying, storing and handling chemicals, get the professionals in.

6. Look out for sickly-looking patches. Leatherjackets, the larval form of the ‘Daddy Longlegs’ can devastate a lawn in spring as they chomp through the roots of the grass. If you suspect a problem, get professional advice.

A CONFIDENTIAL, INDEPENDENT AND AFFORDABLE SERVICE

SOMETIMES WE JUST WANT TO BE HEARD. Whilst there are times when sharing with a colleague, friend, or family member can feel good for a short while, often we can find them, occasionally unwittingly, advising us not to feel what we feel and, stating what we ‘should’ think, feel and do instead. We haven’t really been heard.

Similarly, with most publicly-funded counselling services, the commercial and business restraints currently placed on them are such that, ‘quick-fixes’ become the “order of the day”. The Practitioner becomes compelled to reduce the problem to something they define as can be fixed in six sessions. If the issue remains unresolved after this time, then the Client is often considered ‘non-compliant’ or ‘resistant to treatment’.

Effective and meaningful Counselling allows for exploration in a safe, unpressured environment, mutually created by Client and Practitioner, where the Client is provided with the opportunity to discover, at a pace that is right for them, what feels right for them. The Client feels energised, empowered, valued and heard.

Such a service is provided at Heart To Hart Counselling.

Former Clients have said, “Thanks to you I began to reclaim my life back”, “You offered deep understanding that other Counsellors were not in a position to appreciate”, “An enlightening and empowering experience”.

At Heart To Hart Counselling service really is tailored to your individual needs. You determine your readiness for counselling, you decide the duration of your counselling, you decide what it is you wish to bring to counselling, and if you wish to change the issue, we can accommodate that too.

You talk, I listen, We explore.

You decide, I encourage, We learn.

You act, I support, We grow.

Heart To Hart Counselling puts you back in control. Bespoke therapy is offered in the following areas: Anger, Anxiety, Alcohol/drug Problems, Loss, Depression, Stress, Relationship difficulties, and Worthlessness, to name a few.

HEART TO HART COUNSELLING. YOUR ROUTE TO RECOVERY

1:1 Counselling is provided in Harold Wood, South Woodford and East London.

HELP ME FIGHT CANCER Appeal for Chiane

An update on Chiane.

We are making good progress.

Chiane is off the morphine and although still in pain, we manage the pain with normal Paracetamol and oralmorph which we use at home.

We are slowly increasing the feeding to her gut each day and taking Chiane off the TPN slowly. Once Chiane is off TPN and only feeding to her gut, we will be going home. We can then continue her care at home.

When we went the park, I had flash backs of our very first visit to this park.

We had a nice long chat and we sat on the same garden bench as we did last year end of June when she first started treatment and us breaking the news to her that she has cancer. I asked her how she felt now that we came to the end of this phase of her fight against cancer and she said: “it was like you said daddy, like tennis, we only focused on 1 ball at a time and we dealt with each ball as it was thrown at us. 9 months ago you told me we will take one day at a time and 9 months felt like a life time…. now

it’s over and it flew by so quickly”. She is very proud with herself and what she did, the fears she overcome to do radiotherapy without Anaesthetics, drinking lots and lots of homeopath medicines, changing her eating habits. The list was endless and we both just sat there and I could see her mind was running back to our first day here. She had a big smile on her face and said: “I’ve grown up haven’t I?” I just laughed and said to her she has no idea just how much she has grown and I added… Boyfriends are still off the list in my eyes!

She just laughed!

On our way back Chiane asked me what comes next. I said to her we will go home, rest, get her body back on track and get her strong enough to fly.

Then we will discuss the next step as we have 3 countries to visit, USA, Germany and the Philippines.

She just said she is ready for whatever Follow me on comes next.

Thank you for your continued Fund Raising and Support, we truly appreciate it!

www.rosemarycunningham.co.uk

Children with Asthma If you have a child with asthma in your family, you’re probably all awake at night! In my 25 years in healthcare, my biggest satisfaction is when I treat a child as with Bowen technique, the family will usually see a big change in just a couple of weeks or in some cases, days. Parents often comment “he’s a different child” as the Bowen moves gently relax tight muscles (yes, even tiny babies can have tense muscles) and your child is more relaxed and sleeps and eats better.

I often see babies with bronchiolitis who have been in hospital and have ongoing coughs, wheezing and continual coughs and colds. WIth Bowen , treatment is a sequence of gentle rolling moves over muscles and soft tissue, to persuade the body to start its own healing process, adjust and rebalance. When I treat a child, we read a book or play at the same time and treatment takes just a few minutes.

How does Bowen work with asthma?

The diaphragm normally contracts when breathing in and then relaxes to allow us to breathe out. With an asthmalike condition, the diaphragm may be constantly partly in contraction. If a trigger, such as a cold or illness, or an allergy is detected, the diaphragm seems to contract more and more, This typically brings about a reduction in

asthma attacks and their severity, especially amongst young children.

What about medication?

Asthma treatment is usually inhalers, sometimes courses of oral steriods and antibiotics for chest infections. As a parent you are probably always eager to get your child off steroids as soon as possible. Most children who have Bowen treatment respond very quickly so, sometimes medicines have been reduced quite soon after treatment has started. It is very important to realise that medication has been prescribed to protect your child from the danger of a major attack and I therefore always recommend that reducing medicines is always done under the guidance of your doctor and asthma nurse.You may well be able to reduce medicines quite soon after Bowen treatment.

Diane, mother of James commented “Right from the first treatment there were vast improvements in James’ health.

The cough practically disappeared overnight. Everyone I met noticed and commented on James lack of cough and increase in energy”.
