I LIKE Marmite, so much in fact that I gave my lawn a little dose this week, I really must find out the N:P:K ratios for this stuff... look at it

Totally subjective and worth nowt other than I will notice any changes, intend to do 2 more, one next week on a 'OD Break' and one at completion. may be worthless, may be worthwhile, who knows if I don't do it.

So that is it, all of the cores reviewed and week after next they will have their last 'Boost' before being looked at in July.

Here they all are:

Hang on.....  whats that?

There's more Cores ?!? 1... 2....3

More Cores, what are you thinking man....

You see something dawned on me from all this...

I thought I could see something...

Then 'BOOM!'
Maybe I was right so now I need to replicate it to see it was not a freak


So I have some more cores, another 10 from the same part of the Green as the rest for consistency and they are to be 'not so abused' as the rest but a few variations on a theme, a Control and a 'Wild Card', will run for around 4-5 weeks cos that is all I think I need and see if I can make this happen again.
Will try and be a little gentler this time, no OD just trickling probably too much still but not to try to abuse and see what happens...


So I really must say a massive thanks yet again to my Core Pimp who has been brilliant in furnishing me with these from one of his Main Greens, but then again he knows............






Ok well that's it for now, main lot will get a little trim up later and a review.. other things going on as well BUT that's all Top Secret...



So as a goodbye here's a picture of a Dog on Stilts..... WTF
