I did consider soakwells, but our ground is a bit clayey so I'd rather avoid it. I guess the 90mm should cope with most rain fall and then on those…

JustinH posted:What is overtaking my EZ lawn?
I went and had a closer look at the grass and it seems that the "not enough water" hypothesis may be the correct one. On closer inspection the thin leaves…
