Watching programmes like Groundforce on the television give me feelings of both respect, at the creativity involved and, frustration due to the fact that I haven`t got the ability to recreate the landscaping genius that unfolds before my eyes. I can mow lawns and trim privets and potter about borders but if I had to lay turf or anything more complicated then the wheel would most certainly come off my barrow. Titchmarsh on the tele certainly makes laying turf look easy as he does with most things garden related. Laying turf is one of those processes that looks really easy to do but you know as soon as you attempt it your lawn will have more bald spots than a barbers shop window. If I were to attempt to re-turf my lawn, and that is a big were I`m talking about, then I think I`d get some professional advice way before I dusted off my trusty trowel. Finding a good turf supplier needn`t be that difficult with companies on the internet such as Turfshop.co.uk providing all ranges of turf, topsoil, lawn seed, lawn feed and moss killer. To me
Turf Is The Best. More importantly though, they can provide a complete guide to caring for lawns so in no time at all even the most novice of gardeners such as myself can have a luscious lawn to enjoy summer barbecues on. I respect Alan Titchmarsh and his gardening ability as I understand it can be hard, backbreaking work that takes a lot of time and effort to reap the rewards from. When I compare my garden to that of the gardens he works his magic on though, I can see why he does it.
