    "That surprises me.  Do you not continue through the season? Surely you'll only get a few week protection at best from each application?"

    Large area or small area ?

    "Hi again.  I don't have a hollow Tyne machine. So the plan is to use either a manual one or just fork the area if worst comes to worst to get some light/ nutrients etc in to the root system. Sand. Never really considered it tbh "
