Probably in a merry band of one here :D

I don't mind mossand other bits and bobs in with the grass. It's green and more interesting than a standard grass monoculture. 'Perfect' lawns are just green, sterile and might as well be astroturf...unless you want to play bowls on it. :lol:

Nope, I'll throw my hat in this ring, ours is riddled with moss, daisies, dandelions, wildflowers and other odds n sods that I don't know the name of, we try and leave it 3 - 4 weeks between mows so it has a chance to feed whatever insects are around and we get rewarded by having numerous birds hanging around throughout the day.

After 250kg of horticultural sand, 300 litres of topsoil, 225 litres of compost, seed & turf fertiliser and seed

It had better grow back green, lush and level… :D
I hate Moss with a passion. FWIW i have started to just leave the mower cuttings on my lawn rather than binning them. It has reduced my moss and grass is growing back more lush. OK in patches just now but its only been a few month. You dont see much moss in council fields/parks and they never pick up after themselves.
I’ll bear that in mind, I cut the back lawn on Sunday and left the clippings as the bin is full but that’ll likely be getting the same treatment as the front in due course.

For the bird lovers, the front lawn has become a feeding ground for every bird in the surrounding area so they won’t be going hungry for a while… FFS :mrgreen:

Had a pleasant early afternoon driving through the mountains in SW Portugal.
Not the perfect roads for pulling a trailer but I had time to kill so just plodded on and enjoyed the scenery.
