I did contemplate shouting out of the window, but I'm scared of chavs! I'm already unpopular enough in the village for moaning about the army setting fire to the Salisbury Plains.

She's been pressure washing her bannisters and decking for over an hour...in a drought. While my garden wilts and dies. I'm raging. We're with Wessex Water and don't have a ban yet, so I can't report her.

There needs to be more of an incentive to build on brownfield sites and in towns.

It's a new ghaslty thing with dairy farmers, they use it to cover the ground when it gets muddy.

I have done 10 years of research, and the other person is correct. Also real lawns down need watering. Sure they go brown, but as soon as it rains they green up.

You don't need to water lawns in the UK.

You can listen to any BBC radio station, just search BBC sounds, and you can listen to the recording later too

Catch me on BBC Wiltshire radio with Ben Prater tomorrow morning at 7.05am where I will be talking about the drought, climate change and how this warm weather is not all as wonderful as we think and is having a catastrophic effect on crops and wildlife.

It's not mine to post, but I'm sure I will if it ever gets finished! 😂

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing it. There's bigger one coming out that a friend is writing. I need to find out what's happened to it!

Just blocked that idiot, he was getting on my tits!

Try not to get emotional, honestly why do men get so emotional?

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

Because you've made your boring lawn front and centre of everything no wonder you have to fanny about with it with those stupid stripes! 😂

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

When you said you had it in a previous house. Boring garden

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

I might burn some there's next to your house, because according to you I can do what I like!

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

Not when your decisions damage wildlife, lead to urban flooding, urban heat island effect and full up landfill. There is absolutely no way you can justify it so don't try.

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

What gardening does is keep you fit and healthy, improves your mental health and make the world a better place for pollinators. Suggest you go touch some grass. Oh wait hang on, you can't! 😂

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

My bad back is nothing to do with gardening. Old people have more sense and taste than to lay plastic grass so please don't speak for them. Like I said I know this market like the back of my hand, so I suggest you stop wasting your time trying to defend your poor decision

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

Another straw man argument. Why would I want hard paving or gravel, when micro clover and Mind your own Business an be grown?! Like I said I know what I'm talking about here, so you're onto a losing battle on afraid.

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 09/05/2025

Oh but you told me your plastic carpet just needs a besom! 😂

Retired gardener, consultant now. One manual lawnmower that's all you need, and rarely that if you used a mixed species lawn. Lawns are secondary to borders, which is my speciality. Now where's your proof thst everyone has these chemicals?

Being a professional gardener that has worked for and with thousands of people and their gardens.

It's the spawn of the devil, and such bloody hard work to look after. Who wants to sweep the bloody thing? That would kill my back

With record temperatures and very little rain before Summer has even begun, we need to start taking better care of our natural world for wildlife and climate. An easy start is to ban lifeless plastic gardens 📝 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

I don't have any of that crap for my lawn, most people don't, that is a straw man argument.

Landscapers that lay astroturf profit from destroying your local ecosystem. Neither consumer or contractor pays the true cost of damages. Pavan Sukhdev calls this concept the "Economic Invisibility of Nature" and this is something that our Government need to start acknowledging.

@shitlawns.bsky.social What now seems to be the default standard for garden make-overs :(

Update photos of a garden build by @pavedinstone of one of my designs. Porous hoggin pathways will weave through the garden, Corten steel edging holds it in place

It records everywhere you've been, if you have Google maps installed on your phone your timeline is on it, well, was on it. Press your icon top right and it's there. It was super useful to remind me when I was somewhere, or what time a left a client.

Capability Charlotte @capabilitycharlotte.com · 08/03/2025

Anyone else had their Google timeline deleted, despite doing all the things Google told you to do to preserve it?

I can imagine, it's the same in Horticulture, lots of writers scared to speak out. Luckily I do t give a sh"t and have nothing to lose.

You've hit the nail on the head about the silence on this! I'd love to have a chat with you on this.
