Getting a rare warmish winter day and the time needed to mow the lawn after an age. And some random car decides to use my nature strip to park on to go visit whichever neighbour they were seeing. Yeah, thanks.

Lawn, that shits me. Anyone got a clue what this weed is? It's taking over my lawn atm and the problem is by the time you see it, it's already taken beneath the grass.

Looks like some sort of clover. Get your kids one of these each.

Definitely not clover mate. COmpare the size of the leaves on the weed (that's as big as they get) to the width of the blade of grass. By the time I've noticed it the roots are already wrapped around the grass and strangling it, and it's nigh on impossible to rip up as you need to take the lawn with it.

I reckon I'll be digging a chunk out and taking it to a nursery, I'm stumped.

As for the weapon you posted above, I have one and if I let my kids loose with it (and bought a second to make it "fair"), I reckon the kids would be stabbing each other within 10 minutes.

Yeah I see. Haven't come across anything like that.

Is it wrong that I laughed?

Is it just some winter weed? I gave up on getting rid of them this time of year.

Mow them low, so they don't have a chance to seed, then hit them with a weed and feed in a few weeks when spring starts to kick in. When summer hits, the grass wins out.

Spelling / grammar mistakes, especially on memes, as the words are normally massive, making the error all the more obvious (and cringeworthy).

Politicians who stand in front of the media and say stuff that is totally false and are not questioned about it !:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Just watched Shorten say Abbott will raise the GST if elected. This is despite the fact that for the GST to be raised all the states have to agree on it
and last time I checked there where 3 Labour states which means it has zero chance of being raised.

FFS media grow some balls and challenge these twits when they come on sprouting total crap.!!!

Great choice, foot in mouth, wishy washy kick an own goal Abbott or lying back stabbing union puppet Shorten.:eek::$:thumbsdown:
The country is going to the dogs.:(

My husband got one of these as a Father's Day gift last year from our 8 yo. She bought it at the school Father's Day fete, the teacher who sold it told her it was a poker. Needless to say my husband has said he wants a few words with this teacher! He hates weeding at the best of times, any forays into the garden are usually of the "shock and awe" variety - trees and plants are never the same again (if they survive, that is).

Now come on, when it comes to pruning you need to be cruel to be kind. Aggressive pruning is the only way to go.

Whilst I think Hawthorn will at least make the GF again this year, it's a touch disrespectful to the other 7 teams in the GF to be advertising tickets to the GF with only Hawthorn being mentioned.

Maybe it's a comp run by Hawthorn?

EDIT: I just googled the code and yes, it is a Hawks competition.
