Paraquat is a good grass cutter if you spray it on in a dilute fashion it only kills some of the grass so it grows back next year. I know that a ride on mower would hurt Eric more or at least his wallet!

No sooner do I decide to retire, the wife wants me to relay the front path paving slabs and front steps. 20 years at a computer doesn't nuture the right muscles for laying paving!! Toes feeling bit better, less swelling and I find lacing up in a shoe makes it more stable than comfy slippers. So she is shoving me out into the garden again tomorrow. Anyone get any good eclipse shots? It was cloudy here today but just as the eclipse was fading, the clouds parted and I grabbed a quickie. Didn't look through the viewfinder for obvious reasons...just aimed and pointed. Not very good...but a record of the event.... Attachment: image.jpg (Downloaded 70 times)

Aha... Good thinking, chaps! I'll do that. Eclipse was a damp squib where I was in Inverness. Just got a bit darker as if a storm was brewing. Eric, paraquat sounds like a good idea to me. I had a very small patch of grass in my flat in Edinburgh and I hated it with a vengeance. Sounds like JK had a similar gardening experience.

Best low cost filters I found for solar shots are those used in welders hoods. The large size, plastic about 4x5 inches with a mirror finish #10 to #12 work well.

With 1/2 acre of back lawn I am not going to do it with a push mower. If I started spraying weed killer near my wife's price flower borders it would be more than the grass that was cut off!

With 1/2 acre couldn't you just get a sheep or two to keep the grass trimmed?

But you would be presented with a lovely pastoral view from your living room! Slip some local kid a tenner to clean up the poo - worth it for not having mow...

Or even pay for someone to mow the lawn. That is the satisfaction of retiring Eric. You watch, they work!
