I have mentioned my gardening 'black thumb of death' before (my garden exists by the graces of mother nature - bless), and though I'd like to say I'm seriously on the improve, I need to admit that a patch of immaculate grass is way beyond my commitment level in the garden. And with two little boys who adore the outdoors and have waited patiently for a soccer pitch - what's a girl to do?
the boys from Eco-Lush...
The base is compacted crushed dust and the recycled rubber-backed turf is topped with fine sand and "tyre crumb" (from recycled tyres!) for cushioning. It has so far passed the "rolly-polly kids" test and the "husband lying in the shade" test, but thankfully not the "doggy ablutions" test - yet!
Anyone who wants to try out the soccer pitch is very welcome, I'll be under the pagoda with a cocktail ;-) Lovely!

Fantastic - environmentally friendly, low maintenance and looks great!
Not so good - gets extremely hot underfoot so not good for bare little feet. And if you have a pooch that likes to go to the toilet on it, it retains the odour and really stinks especially when it gets hot.
Oooh, I wanna come check it out!
If you had told me you were having hot tradies around to install a lawn, I would have finished your necklace earlier and come over to sip icies with you and to watch the boys sweat...
In any event, your necklace is now done :D
Would you care to have a coffee at some point to talk about pretty thing and to receive your gift?
Xx
